Come on Brad... Comparing a ][ (any one of them) to a Mac or Amiga is a little
ridiculous.. As for AE Pro.. It CANT'T compare with Proterm.. I don't know of
anyone who EVER got its supposed emulation to work. Although Proterm does have
some bugs, its still a hell of a lot better. Ever wonder why they came out with
Mousetalk??? And that still doesn't do emulations.... BTW your Mac or Amiga
can't beat my VAXSTATION 2000 for anything!!!!
