  I enjoyed your posting but I have to say that I am amazed that the sole
reason you didn't buy a Mac was because of the cabling situation. I think
you have a bad dealer who doesn't know how to obtain the right cable or
send you somewhere where you can. I think there are a lot of reasons why
one may be interested in the Amiga over the Mac but I don't think the
type of cables used is one of my highest criteria.
