I am a authorized Atari and authorized Amiga dealer. I personally own one of each (ST and an Amiga). I have heard all the gripes about each machine, I have also heard the loves of each machine from both customers and colleges. Amiga owners that I have seen are just as enthusiastic and shall I say slanderess as Atari owners. One Amiga owner told a cutomer of mine as she was at the counter paying for her ST that he felt sorry for her! While attending Comdex in a conversation with an Electronic Arts representative who told me that he couldn't believe the fanaticism of the average Amiga owners who would travel from California and New York to spend a week admiring the Amiga and the products for it. available for it. These were not people in computer related jobs, they were as he put it "Groupies" and he had never seen it on any computer before. Alot of the talk and rumors are a result of the companies who manufacture and sell these computers. Commodore and Atari both have made major mistakes on the marketing of these machines. They have created a great deal of the atmosphere surrounding these people and their computers. In my store last year there was a lot of fighting amoung the customers as to which machine was better. It's the same as "My dad is better than your dad!" Both machines are great and each has it's strong points. I would recomend an ST to some people while other's I suggest Amigas. To each his own, the Amiga is a classy machine, don't get involved with those petty arguments and be happy with what you have or replace it! Ken
