:I have seen the mac emulator and also the IBM emulator on the ST.  Their mac 
:emulator is even FASTER than a standard mac!!  In a matter of fact, their
:IBM emulator runs MUCH faster that ours and even does graphics!!  What is it 
:with amiga that limits IBM emulation?  The ST has really impressed me with
:its emulation capabilities.  Would someone please enlighten me on why I bought

	Your comparison is way out of context.  You are comparing the 
skills of the respective programmers for the products, not the machines on
which the products run.  This is because the machines all run at the same
relative speed for the base machine (I am *not* talking about the Mac II
here).

	Besides, there is more demand in the Atari arena for that sort of
thing.  Most Amigans are quite happy with its OS and use a bridgecard when 
they want IBM compatibility.
