Get an Atari ST! Like 1/2 the price of the amiga and essentially the same features. OK, the amiga has a little better graphics, but then the ST has a better OS..... Also, you can get higher memory models of the ST cheaper still (1040 K ST is < $1000, including monitor, disc drive) Also, if you like Mac software, you can get a cartridge relatively cheaply that plugs into the st case and presto -- color Mac. Apparently, the ST actually runs many Mac program faster than the Mac... -- Laurence R.
