- Funny, personally viewing a friend of mine's A4000/040 sitting next to
- another friend's 040 Mac (can't remember the model, probably cause it's
- not worth remembering), the A4000 blew the doors off the Mac. Especially
- when multitasking came into play.

- Seen messages?? So, you probably don't know the actual configuration
- of the machine! And you didn't witness these things personally! Unless
- you did, you're basing your so-called "knowledge" on heresay evidence,
- which is useless, makeing your argument useless.

- "I'd also like to see an Amiga that can run Mac software in 24-bits with

- So, you're saying that you wanna see an Amiga run 24 bit with no added
- hardware, but you mention nothing about the Mac not having 24 bit hardware.
- Sounds like you're trying to compare to unequal graphics systems to me.
- Unfair comparison. Typical clueless Mac user.
