I'm looking for a PC with hi-res color graphics,
good sound capability, and well documented access
to assembler level programming for game hacking.  From
what I've heard and read, Amiga sounds like the best bet.
I have two questions:

1) Does anyone know of any Amiga dealers in central NJ
   (I live in Millburn which is directly between Morristown
   and Newark)?  I called six stores, and one suggested
   I try Toys 'R Us ( they didn't have it either :-) )
   My next action will be to call Commodore (can't call
   'em today; it's Saturday).

2) Is Amiga the best bet?  I've read articles here that imply
   that I can get most any PC (e.g., IBM PC) and buy special
   cards/software/color monitors that make them "as good."
   Multitasking is less important to me than the speed, sound,
   color graphics, and ability to work in assembler and C
   (not to say I wouldn't take advantage of multitasking...).

Thanks!
