 Dave H. has already explained why its easier to emulate the Mac vs the IBM.
 What I don't understand is that from the last line in your message it sounds
 like you didn't buy an Amiga for the Amiga but rather as an emulator. I see
 where a better (read - color, graphic, & sound) version of Transformer would
 be a big boom to the Amiga, but even without such an item I don't need anyone
 to enlighten me on why I bought an Amiga. I bought mine for the abilities of
 the Amiga as a computer, not its emulation ability (or lack of).
