- I believe that statement takes an incorrect viewpoint. I can say the Amiga
- is a far more capable computer than Mac or IBM because it is... and to
- explain myself, I offer the following rhetorical question: The great software
- packages available for Mac and IBM... is the Amiga INCAPABLE of doing the
- same? Conversely, the IBM/Mac are incapable of a multitude of things that
- the Amiga laughs at. (And have you read tha A4000 article?)
