Here's a interesting little tidbit I found in PC Week Sept 12, pg 44:

------------------------------------------------
Another Hombre has a somewhat slanted list of things to do while waiting
for Presentation Manger applications:

1. Buy an Amiga.  Every significant new feature in OS/2 was done first
   on the Amiga: multitasking, interprocess communications, color graphics
   interface as well as large amounts of directly addressable memory.

2. Buy an Amiga.  When IBM first released the PS/2 machines, it copied
   several features from Commodore's Amiga: analog RGB video, a bus that
   supports multiprocessing, a built-in color display adapter, built-in
   serial, parallel and mouse ports, 3-1/2 inch floppy disks and high-
   resolution color graphics.

3. Buy an Amiga.  It's more IBM-compatible (using a Bridge Board) with the
   classic PC, XT and AT machines than the PS/2.

4. Buy an Amiga.  Its slick graphics and easy-to-use operating system are
   tight and solid, unlike OS/2, which requires as much as 4M bytes just
   to run.

5. Buy and Amiga.  The best-ever microcomputer implementation of Unix is
   coming for the Amiga this fall.

All that's just the half of it, amigos, he says.
