[comp.sys.misc] Need some suggestions

Hi there,

     I am very interested in music especially classical music.  I will get a 
new job soon, and I am interested in buying a personal computer.  My primary
interest in the personal computer is writing music and play them on my
stereo equipment.  It has to generate high quality stereo sound and has 
user friendly software that I can write music with.  It has to be able to 
emulate various types of instrument.  I also like to have a Fourie analyzer 
in it.  Well, in short, the more options there are the better.  Note I am 
not interested in doing anything else on that computer since I will have
access to a HUGE VAX cluster in my new job.  The only thing I am interested
is music.  

     I heard that Amiga and atari are pretty good music sythesizers, but 
I don't not know what kind of things I can do with it.  Would some one send 
me some suggestions as to which machine I should buy along with what software?
Also if you can give me a brief description of what that machine/software
can/cannot do, that will be great.
Please send me e-mail at xia%uicsrd@a.cs.uiuc.edu .

Thanks in advance.
