I don't buy your reasoning. At the present, the Amiga is very weak in
networking, an area that keeps Amigas out of corporate America. The age of
"sneaker net" is over; system intergrators and corporate PC co-ordinators
want to know how any new technology will "plug in" to their existing
technology. Commodore has an EtherNet board, but is there any software to
run it?
Does Amiga have square pixel technology like the Mac, so nice for
Desktop Publishing? Does Amiga have 386 capability to run Windows or
O/S-2? Can it be upgraded to a 486? I don't mean to knock the Amiga; it
certainly has advantages Macs and IBMs don't. But it seems a little silly
for Amiga to push its Mac or IBM capability. If every car compares itself
to a Mercedes and the prices were all similar, wouldn't you just buy the
Mercedes?
