>> Ok all you 520st enthusiasts... The atari st is an incredible >> low end home computer. But it is NOT an Amiga. And thank providence for that! (thought I'd get a bit nasty, but Naah!) >> Sure, with some very difficult assembly ... you can copy the bouncing ball, >> but if anyone seriously thinks a ST can match up to the Amiga >> they are crazy. I am crazy. >> I don't own either machine... however I have researched both. I do own an ST, and also researched both. >>Both have merits ..., but they are ...completely different machines. Agreed. >> The Amiga is a better computer, flat out, Disagreed. >> and it also costs twice as much. Which is better for the money? >> I don't know, You don't know? Don't know? Then WHY do you bother with this posting? (then again, why do I waste readnewsers' and my time with responding?) >> ... but I am tired of hearing atari salesmen, and atari >> owners, blabbing that the ST is "the same thing as an Amiga". >> That quote came directly from an atari salesman. Salesmen's opinions rarely count, since they don't know in most cases what they are selling (at least I never met a home computer salesperson who did). I never heard Atari owners say that the AMIGA is the same thing as an ST. They know better. >> >> I am not about to list features, but if this letter makes you red, grab >> the specs for both machines and see for yourself. No comparison. >> That's right, "NO COMPARISON". Why do people still get overwhelmed with sound and light? Graphics chips may be give you ultra-super-dooper-whamo BitBlt's 'n' things, but they will not compile your programs faster, nor read your floppies any faster. > Oh, come off it!!
