Wow.  Amazing.  For about the same price as an Amiga 2000 (about $1400, I
presume), we get a monitor (probably monochrome only, or maybe, if we're
very, very lucky, one which has 640 X 350 16-color graphics), a hard disk
(undoubtedly a creeping 20 Meg Seagate), and a barrage of PD programs,
most of which you wouldn't WANT to believe!  But wait, there's more!  You
also get a wonderful Intel processor!  And a gigantic 640K of RAM!
All made by those little Asian gnomes in Taiwan!

Not to mention the wonderful ability to run GEM.  Yes, you, too, can run
the same software as the Atari ST!

I invite the Amiga community to inspect the .signature of this man.
Note, especially, the words ATARI and drivax (as in Digital Research).
Somehow, I don't think he is an objective witness...
