- Hear hear. Agree with just about everything you stated. In fact,
- emulation is a prime example of how good/inventive the Amiga
- community is.

- A few years ago, I wouldn't have even dreamt of being able to
- run Macintosh software or the UNIX OS on my Amiga. Now it's possible,
- even without the support of commercial developers. Almost incredible,
- if you think of it (What did Amiga-Unix and Amax cost, just a few
- years ago?)
-
- The Amiga may lag behind somewhat on the hardware side,
- but it sure doesn't lack in quality software and worldwide
- user support!
