All the price/performance estimates I've seen are ridiculous.  Who
cares about a few pixels here, a couple of colors there?  Whatever
the configuration, both systems are guaranteed to generate endless
articles claiming superiority.  The testosterone gets so thick you
can smell it.  Maybe we need a new benchmark to measure how much
user loyalty a system generates.  Bhoaststone perhaps?

BTW  I own both a PC klone and an Amiga.  I like them both.
