 I have a brother who wants to purchase a Macintosh, however I repair them
for a living and don't think Macs are all that great, (just my opinion). I
have heard the Amiga can be set up to run most Mac programs/system. Can
someone email me info on this please? I am interested in the following.

1) What model of the Amiga can handle the setup. (I think it's the st but
   don't know, pardon my lack of knowledge)?

2) What board is required as an extra purchase. (again, I have heard it's the
   Spector 128 but don't know for sure).

3) What else is required? Where can he/I get hold of the proper ROMs? Are there
   any problems getting them?

4) What is the relative cost of this venture?

5) Most important question of all. If anyone has a similar setup. I am most
   interested in your experiences. Is this a reasonable venture? Have you
   experienced any particular problems?


 Finally, I have heard several good things about the Amiga and would really 
like these facts to add to what I've heard. My brother lives in the Pittsburgh
area, so any info on a good dealer in the area he could talk to would be 
appreciated. Thank you.
