Does the Amiga use an interlaced monitor as its main monitor? I looked at them early on and the display of windows, etc. always bothered me. It looked "cheap" somehow, and I wonder if it is the display system that they used. At the same time they were having trouble with their system software. Not the typical DOS-style wierd bugs that come bite you unexpectedly, but by an overall lethargy that made you wonder if you were running on floppies or the hard disk. I never really regretted buying into the PC line (I'm on my fourth machine at home now) but I could see, then and now, that the Amiga has some really neat features that cost a lot to reproduce on other machines.
