I'd rather have more colors on-screen at once, without any trade-offs like
Amiga HAM; I'm sure that's why they thought 256 at once with VGa was
comparable to the Amiga's display. Of course, the PC marketplace hasn't yet
learned that 320 x 200 chunky graphics, regardless of the number of colors,
doesn't cut it. Text is really, really gross, on par with the Commodore 64
or worse.
So write a letter, and get your friends to write, too. Sounds like some PC
people / advertisers were tired of the Amiga coverage, and wanted to print
some propaganda. At least they could get the facts straight, aside from
subjective interpretation.
