I admire the people who can stand by the Amiga. It's a great machine, unbelievable clever design. But I don't see what's wrong with having different tools for different applications. The attractiveness of Scala for PC and Lightwave for PC can't be ignored, so much so that I intend to get a PC as soon as I get a full time job (I'm doing freelance now.) For instance: while I would always do Modeling (Lightwave) on the amiga, I'd prefer to render on a pc. Time is money and a pentium is faster than any accelerator for the Amiga. Likewise, Scala PC does things the Amiga chipsets don't currently allow. Think of it this way:
You may have to use a Ford F350 at your jobsite, even though you prefer to zip around in your Fiero when you get home. The Fiero is a great car, but getting parts is harder and harder, but you'll never ever ever sell it. The same could be said for a pentium or PowerMac - they have a lot of tork but ain't much fun to drive, however you know you gotta make a living.
I'll always love my amigas but at some point you can't keep making four or five trips in the Fiero to do what the Ford can do in one haul, can you?
I hope this doesn't upset anyone -- it is merely my two cents on the matter and worth about that. People should just use what they need to use and or like to use and not fault other people for doing the same. I have no compunction about using a chair with casters and zipping around from machine to machine to machine.
