- No you are just upset that Amiga's can emulate mac software so perfectly.

- Where exactly did you see me say 'average Amiga'? I don't see it, do you?
-
- I have never owned an 020 Amiga.. the Slowest Amiga I have is an 040 35mhz
- Amiga. We now have 060 50mhz Amiga's, which run mac software faster than
- any 680x0 Mac! Period! Amiga's will soon be using Power PC 604 Chip too,
- so we will yet again run your Power Mac software faster than you can as well.
- 060 50mhz runs mac software at great speeds already however, much faster than
- most mac's.

- Like I said marky, I never said typical Old Amiga, I said Amiga! Don't
- try to use average crap to try to support your discussion.
-
- I bet you my Slower 040 Amiga can run more software than your fastest Power
- Mac could ever dream of, and I will run Amiga,IBM, and your Mac software all
- at the same time. Will let you know how the Power 604 Amiga runs your mac
- software in a year or so. :)
