- I don't want to get into yet another Amiga vs Mac debate. However, I would
- like to say a few things.
-
- Amiga+Amax doesn't really emulate a MacPlus... well... it really depends on
- what equipment you have. Also, you can have ~800x600 on a 14" if you have
- the right model of Amiga.
-
- Furthermore, System 7.0 (heck, even 7.1) is compatible with the MacPlus.
- Have you seen it running on a MacPlus??
