- I agree with this one

- Why does everyone seem to want to argue about which is
- better - the PC or the Amiga?
-
- Is there no room for both? I think that in a perfect world
- you would be running an Amiga for presentation software,
- bitmapped graphics, and video intergration, a PC as the
- power server, word processor spreadsheets, etc. and a Mac
- for DTP. using a machines application leanings to their best
- degree. Its known as comparative advantage in Economics.
- Okay, so you can do everything on a PC, but if loading
- Personal Paint up and designing a simple WWW bitmap
- graphic is simple for you, why not use it? Leave the
- PC to run the HTML writers, and work on the text at
- the same time.
-
- I reckon that a lot of computer users will make the switch to
- PC from Amiga, sure. But doesn't it make sense to keep the Amiga,
- and use both?
-
- Besides I'm not going to ditch my amiga till the PC FULLY supports
- long filenames (i.e. outside Win95)
