>>but both machines are WAY slower than the fast Pentiums and PowerMacs that are available for comparable prices.<< Isn't that because those machine are essentially used in mono-tasking? Logic dictates that monotasking will be faster for a single task which shouldn't be considered a bad thing. >>And the native Amiga display is, sadly, slower than what's available very cheaply in clone world for most tasks.<< I don't understand this one. Why is it then that PowerPoint is lousy and Scala good? >>Word processing is my most important activity at this point, and neither of the two Amiga word processors have all the features I need.<< Personally, I use TeX. I use the Amiga one and maybe the PC one too in a not too distant future since my boss wants to use it instead of the MS-stuff. It does everything I want it to do, so I don't really have a problem with that. >>But logic clearly dictates (<g>) that the longer the Amiga is in a coma, the further behind it will fall.<< That seems logic <sad g> Bart Van Bockstaele at 100574.2352@compuserve.com … On AutoPilot and Amiga all the way from Belgium …
