The first 2 or 3 replies to my post would have sufficed, but I can see that their is a good chance that I'll probably get a reply from every Amiga owner on the face of this planet with netnews access. I didn't mean for this post to be a vicious flame, but all the Amiga owners obviously took it that way. Don't take it to be a direct attack on your machine. This is what I was trying to say: If a musician decides he should have a computer, not only to help him with producing music, but also to handle some other simple things like keeping his checkbook in balance, to replace his typewriter, and of course to play decent games on; he should look at how simple the machine is to acquire, assemble, use and maintain. Having to worry about the midi level converter as an extra item is not a problem with the ST. They both have very user friendly interfaces, although it's debatable which one is more user friendly. Finally, as far as the average musician is concerned, each machine is equally powerful (Read: they both can play great music and great games!). One final comment: I've noticed, from talking to various musicians around here, that they usually are not very concerned about the built-in sound capabilities of computers, but rather if the computer can make their own perticular keyboards sing.
