In response to my response to an ST flame...

I only call people names when appropriate, I'm not going to knock a great
computer, only the attitude of its owner...

It's getting even more moot these days.  The STE appears to have everything
the Amiga originally had over it in a slightly less elegant fashion, and this
makes the price difference even more questionable...

If only the dimbops would advertise the thing on MTV like the smart people at
Commodore.  I shouldn't complain though, at least they aren't trying to sell
the Lynx by word of mouth (yeah I know about the Amiga/Lynx connection, I
LOVE that!)

What I really wish would happen is that Apple recruit Atari to make a mac
for the home market.  The real expertise Atari has is in making hardware
dirt cheap.  Yes, the Stacy is just that, but if Atari doesn't push the thing,
it won't make a gnat's yeast infection of a difference...

Commodore deserves to dominate the desktop video market.  They entered it the
same time as atari, but unlike atari, they supported it, rather than get lost
in their own machinations, confusing everyone...
  My reply was only to the dimwit who aimlessly blasted the ST because of
obvious insecurity over the size of his peripherals, rather than actually
spouting some truth about the Amiga's dominance of desktop video...
