I am seriously looking to add a computer to my electronic music system.
I have investigated the Macintosh+ (along with an Imagewriter II printer)
and software and MIDI interfaces need to go with it.

I have also started to hear talk about the speed, graphics and power of the
AMIGA for MIDI.

What I'd like to know is, what is the cost of the AMIGA (and a printer) versus
the MAC+?  Are they both equally easy to use?  Is one more versatile than the
other?  How's the support for them?  Is there as much music sotware
available for the AMIGA as there seem to be for the MAC+?

Please send me e-mail if you have ANY knowledge about the above.  I would
really appreciate it.

Thanks.
