- Being an owner of an Archimedes 310 and an Amiga 1000, I have to
- tend to disagree here. The hardware in the amiga 1000 is better than that
- in the Archimedes. However the Amiga hardware is looking very 'deadend' now
- because - CBM just don't seem to be supporting in properly.

- Tend to agree here - from what I see Atari seems to have very little
- marketing outside of the uk (and maybe de?). Just remember how the C64
- outsold the old atari 800's by a factor of about 4-1, due to poor marketing.
- And how the Atari ST, outsold the Amiga in the uk - in the early days.
- Marketing, software, and support *is* the only way computers sell -
- unfortunately Atari just don't seem to have it - which is a bit of a shame
- seeing as the Falcon has more going for it than the ST did.
- (Not that that is saying much ;-) )
