on the //gs: personally, I rather have this that the amiga because of the
price of the //gs compared to the amiga (I don't remember the current prices of
the amiga but for a complete system of the //gs is running around $1600 for
the base cpu, monitor, keyboard, mouse and 1 or more drives (3.25 or 5.5,
can't remember) and I can live with that better than what the amiga has to
offer me. I don't remember about drive access time, but if the mac emulation 
mode for the amiga has access times just as slow, i'll take the //gs anyday.

//e: the fastest accelerator cards I've ever seen for a //e goes around 3.5-3.6
Mhz which is a bit slower than the 4.77Mhz in the base IBM PC and much slower
than most IBM PC compats that run anywhere from 6 to 12 Mhz now.

thats all for now
