:This has been my complaint all along. Too much of a "Me Too" mentality.
:in terms of product, the hardware is MAHVELOUS DAHLING but the OS is
:sh*t. Amiga is no longer at the top of the technology heap.  Religious
:wars about Mac II and Amiga may abound but the average user will 
:still feel more comfortable with a larger company and larger software
:catalogue. If the is not a more serious focus on standards (read: UNIX)
:the Amiga is doomed.

	Of all the personal computer operating systems, the Amiga's OS is
currently the best of the crop.  Certainly better than the ST's, which is
one of the worst MSDOS-like clones in existance (obivously rushed), and 
as far as I know, IBM's OS/2 has nothing like the modular integration of
the Amiga's low-level Libraries and Devices.

:The 2000 is EVERYTHING the 1000 should have been. Without a doubt
:Apple will lower the price of the Mac II to the point where the 
:additional cost of the Mac II will become meaningless in light of
:the lack of Amiga software.

	Don't count on it.
