If you mean software supposrt at low price, I have just sent off
for Wordworth 2 for #59 pounds. I would say it was probably better
than anything short of DTP on the PC. Yet WordPerfect costs #200,
and I'd hate to think what Word for Windows costs. I think the
conclusion has to be, for the mega rich like you, where cost is
no object then it really does not matter what you have, you can
always spend more. But when someone is paying taxed earned income
on a home system, they have to be wiser.

     As far as I know, PP&S are not shipping this board yet most likely
because they got burnt last summer(?)  I hope that by now, they are
close to that!  I would like to see the performance on this little board.
I called them once, and they told me that with SysInfo, the 68040 @ 28Mhz
on the A500 was doing around 21 MIPS!

And yes, it runs on an Amiga.

Leo Schwab posted some stuff in alt.sources last summer.  6/16/92 to be exact.

STOP IT, GREENE!!! Your constant whining about Amiga pricing has now  
become extremely tiresome and as irritating as any J. Shekel posting.

I really don't wish to see this thread degenerating into another "A4000 is  
overpriced / Oh no it isn't" farce, but note the following points:

1. C= has had nothing but praise from its developers and the Amiga  
magazines about the entry level price of the A4000.

2. This entry level price will, like with any new hardware, fall in the  
coming months.

3. (Not meant as a flame). Since you have made it extremely clear to all  
of us about how satisfied you are with your Gateway 486 system,  
Commodore's pricing policy should be of no concern to you (unless you were  
planning to get an A4000 for yourself).

			      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Amazing. When someone posted a rumor about the A1200 (before the official  
announcement of the machine) costing about 1000 dollars, you immediately  
jumped in saying that was overpriced. It obviously did not bother you that  
this was based on hearsay. Then there was the brainless thread generated  
by your famous "Too bad it's overpriced" comment. And now this. Your posts  
are becoming as predictable as MB's. If you sat back and realised how  
annoying this attitude is, you would not post again unless there was  
something constructive to say. OTOH, if you really find nothing wrong in  
being a nuisance to others, then nothing I or anybody else says is going  
to change that. Bloody hell!

It won't be on any of the "networks" nor syndicated.  From what I understand,
Warner Brothers is using a hybrid.  They will be "syndicating" three series
("Babylon 5", "Kung Fu: The Next Generation", and another that I forget),
but stations must buy all three.  This will then be a pseudo-network.

If you want to see some of the images (along with interviews), pick up the

 I've had doubts about the coming low-end AGA-chipset Amiga
earlier, and I've been claiming that there's still a chance
that Atari will make the Falcon available long before the
new Amiga is released.

 According to what I've read today, and it's only been two
or three weeks since the last time I read c.s.a.a, the A1200 is
released with the new graphics chips in it. The title says it
all, I'm impressed! Will this computer be available to customers
soon, or is it already? 

 The Falcon may still be better than the A1200, at least it's
got the 68030 CPU and a sound chip that with help from the DSP
beats PC clown sound cards, Super Nintendo, and of course, the 
Amiga four-channel sound chip. But if Commodore have the A1200
ready for UK Christmas sales, and if Atari don't release their new 
beast quickly, it might give Commodore an edge that's big enough
already, without this delay.

	First of all, they both lack index, true styles, tables of

Word macro-language? Puts most of actual Amiga Word Processors ARexx

Well, just compair the normal user and you will se the difference.
The average Amigauser is somewhat a hacker while the average cloneuser 
runs NerdPerfect under Windows and knows about nothing about how the 
machine works.

Amiga is basicly the best bobby and hack machine there is around while 
the PC mainly belongs in offices and such.

So what?  Today's clones use throw-away parts anyway.  When you can
replace an entire 486/25/50 motherboard with 64K cache for $100 you
don't fix them.  You pull the cache and toss the board.  Anyway, as
far as reliability goes the clones I've seen are more reliable than
the true-blue IBMs that I install and repair daily.  I try to convince
my company that it's not always cost effective to repair a board, but
it's easier for them to buy an IC than cut a PO for a board purchase,
especially since the PO costs $100 in paperwork and takes forever to 
get the authorized signatures, but that's big corporate life.  (It's
not Japan's fault we're going downhill, it's our fault).  

I also sell clones, do custom software, etc. and believe me, there's
probably not too many people on the net that hate them as much as I do,
but it helps put my wife and I through school.  Even though I don't lie
and tell people that I prefer the Amiga, I still felt better about
selling drugs in my twenties than I do about selling clones in my thirties.

All that says is you expanded one system more than the other and then
looked for similarities.  You will find few.
