Every time I see a fellow Amiga owner do this I cringe _REALLY_ big time.
Somebody burn(*) this person for me please! I just can't get the heart to.
Or better yet let's just ignore him/her, maybe they'll go away ... I don't
believe that either. :-(
I do have one remark for Petra however. I don't like the bad name that we
Amiga owners have gotten because of this type of prank. I rarely see any
Atari supporter trying this sort of prank in comp.sys.amiga. Please have
the same good manners to not pollute this newsgroup with this drivel.
To the readers of this newsgroup. Please realise it is not the Amiga that
leads some people to this type of behaviour. Who knows why in fact?
yours truly,
Lou Cavallo.

You know, I own an ST and have had it for a while now. I'm very happy with it, it does what it needs to WELL. I'm tired of the lack of support for it, however, and the attitude of Atari, so I am looking into buying an Amiga. It is people like you, however, that make me change my mind. Maybe I don't want an Amiga after all. Maybe, if it will get me away from people who have to wave their computer around like it is some sort of a phallice, I will buy an IBM clone instead. Or a Commodore 64. I feel so much better now. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=That is not dead which may eternal lie-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * Christoper Roth * "Machines have no * InterNet : cr1@beach.cis.ufl.edu * Conscience..." =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Yet with strange eons even death may die-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

You forget ATari's #1 option. It does not have a $3000 price tag! swood PS. I don't need 4096 colors, as the most I have ever seen used is less than 128 even on DecStation gifviewers, and for less than you paid for your set up, I got an ST, a sequencer software, a MIDI workstation, and a Kawai K1 II. Giving me 8 channel Stereo Synthesis from 256 selectable waveforms, access to over 1000 pre-programmed sounds, a drum machine, delay and reverb effects, as well as song writing and performance ability - oh, not to mention full midi control of all my midi devices. Gee, and I got a pretty good (not great, but pretty good) in the deal too. I guess it is all in the way you look at it! BTW - cost break down I got the cpu from a going out of business sale (it was out on loan for a repair customer for less than 2 weeks - but it came back on the last day they were open so they wanted to move it fast) for $250 (STfm +.5 M for a 1Meg of memory, + internal 756 k ds 3 1/2) BTW STfm includes a rf modulator, so it spared me a monitor cost. I then got a simple sequencer, a 3d graphics program, and a basic disc thrown in for free, as well as purchasing a $229 MIDI workstation for $50 The K1, and connecting MIDI cables/audio cables came up to about $650 Brand pankin' gnu ;-) -- Only four more days till small | swood@argo.acs.oakland.edu game season in Michigan!! | swood@vela.acs.oakland.edu UUCP:...!uunet!umich!vela!swood | swood@nucleus.mi.org Bitnet: swood@oakland | swood@unix.secs.oakland.edu

Thank you Petra for that unbiased and objective report on the respective features of both the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST. I'm sure I speak for all Atari owners when I extend my gratitude to you for sharing your views with us in such an articulate manner. I would like you to know how much we respect your views and how they will influence us in the future.

I'm still glad I bought an Atari and I'd buy another one if I could afford it. The fact is that the ST is the best MIDI workstation on the market. Not only that, it's the cheapest MIDI workstation. I looked around for quite a while before I bought. Considering what I would be using it for and how much it cost, the ST was by far the best choice. I'm not saying either machine is better than the other. They have different capabilities built in and it really just depends on what you plan on using it for. Greg Wright <wrightgr@mwk.uucp>

Bet you wished you could use the english language. Wouldn't it be nice to have machine that rand at full 68K speed? Wouldn't it be nice not to flicker. Wouldn't it be nice to have a 1.4MEG drive? Wouldn't it be nice to run a 1:1 interleave? Wouldn't it be nice to have a REAL desktop? Wouldn't it be nice to use IBM format disks? WOuldn't it be nice to know what you are talking about?

In-Reply-To: message from edb762bbp1@vx24.cc.monash.edu.au Thank you for this intelligent message concerning the Amiga vrs. the STe. I shall ignore that fact that you are wrong on a number of counts, about both the STe's and the Amiga's capablities. Perhaps you should educate yourself a little bit better about what the machines you post about can do. Thank you for your support. Oh, and please, get a life. .>Brad Martin<.
