- SVGA quality video is available on the Amiga, and has been for years.
- While NetScape isn't Native to the Amiga, it can be Emulated through
- UNIX or Mac OS's.
- Quake isn't even on the market yet, so PCs "can't run quake" either. Sheesh.
- Unfortunetly, you got me on the last one. The Amiga still tends to be in
- the pricey range.

- Now, as for who the dummies are. It is my humble opinion that the Wintel
- bunch have succeeded in brain-washing the masses into buying their less
- than superior machines. Superiority is based on more than CPU MHz and
- number of software titles available (of which many aren't worth existing
- anyhow). Of which CPU speed will be back up to par with the Power Amiga
- is 1997, and software titles have already picked up since Escom purchased
- the Amiga.
