I only scanned the coverage, but I did give a quick scan to the
Amiga vs. Mac article.  It endorsed the Amiga.  The author apparently
wrote True Basic for the Mac and from what I could tell disliked
the Mac because its interface with the _programmer_ was more awkward or
time consuming or something.  This article is only one man's opinion
but I think it may reflect something real.  The Amiga has a lot of
nifty hardware features that the Mac does not (I'm not sure I care
about them myself, but some people do) and I know that the Mac is
not particularly easy to program.  I think the Mac's strength lies
at the user's level rather than the developer's level.  Does anyone,
particularly someone with experience with both, have any comments on
my rambblings?
