Hey, look at how long the Mac's been out, they're on at least the third revision, and they still don't have it right, the thing isn't NTSC compatible, doesn't multitask, and it can't be hooked up easily to anything other than that silly little 9" monitor. So hey, chill out. They're two completely different machines. Each has its strengths and weaknesses. If anything, the Amiga looks stronger; its already doing things a Mac can't do, and the Mac's had a several year head start. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Haynie {caip,ihnp4,allegra,seismo}!cbmvax!daveh "Laws to supress tend to strengthen what they would prohibit.
