I found an Amiga advantage, too.  (You're going to have a LONG list!!! :>)

It took my PC THREE HOURS to print disk labels for me.  And all the while I
was unable to use the machine.  However, the AMIGA was online through the 
modem and I was busily downloading stuff, working in my desktop publisher
program and database, playing a game or two to take a break,
and listening to mods ALL WHILE THE PC WAS TIED UP PRINTING!!!

Now THAT is an Amiga ADVANTAGE!

Let's hear of a PC doing anything NEARLY that productive!

I was about to ask for someone to elaborate, then remembered I have this

I wouldn't say it was a mixed review of the A4000, more a mixed review of
Cmdre itself.

I'll save you the trouble:

This is a "spin", obviously.

Maybe.  He certainly seems to have remained in the company for awhile....
It should be remembered that marketing didn't make the decision to put IDE
in the machine.  Dave Haynie points out (in a previous post someplace or
other) that that was Bill Sydnes.  Bill is gone, folks....  The current
marketing force may be small, and it may put out ridiculous-looking
advertisements, but it isn't completely mindless.  Remember, mindless is
the Board of Directors.  Marketing just needs a wee bit of professionalism.

IDE costs nothing to put on the motherboard, and that's true.  What's not
completely calculable is what it costs to keep SCSI -off- the new high-end
machine.  And that depends on how fast Cmdre can get it back on there.

TI's 16bit DSP chips are $3.00 in quantity while 32bit ones
start at $25.00. If I can get my hands on a few engineering samples,
I'll distribute the extras on a first-come first serve basis. Some
ingenious hardware hacker may find an Amiga implementation for these.
I believe this is the chip so endlessly touted by Atari Falcon fans, so
it might be worth taking a look. The phone number for this part 
(TMS320xx FAMILY) is 1-800-336-5236 ext 3536. Call them up and ask for

Think about it. There you sit, reading news, and somebody waffles about

Big round of applause to all the C= people. You're reason enough to buy an

Want to cite some dates?  Long after we released the A500, Atari was still
showing dummy blitter chips and Atari users were moaning about the wonder
blitter that didn't really seem available nowhere, nohow.  Didn't general
availability actually happen about the time the MegaST came out?

Oh yeah ALL those games that open in interlace.  NOTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
If you call some text games like Wonderland a lot.  Or perhaps some

But it would only do deinterlace only a small portion of things would

Yeah like the new rom will work on your a3000.  If you haven't seen it 
already the new rom won't work in a non aga amiga.  Nor would it fit

I've done exactly this.  The Amiga ROM Kernel Ref. Manuals are actually
*very* nice.  Inside Mac is a lot less nice since all the information is spread
over half a dozen different editions (although Think Reference, a sort of IM
on disk, is quite nice when it isn't incorrect).  For the ST, I've found the
simplest thing to do is just pretend it's MSDOS - this works for most stuff
(well, for CLI code anyway).

I just had the chance to play with an A4000.

In one word: Absolutly Awesome!

Many people have said that the 256 color Workbench is slightly slower
that an A3000 running a 16 color Workbench. Bull Pucky! What were they
smokin? This A4000 running a 640x480 256 color workbench was at least twice
as fast as my A3000 running a 16 color workbench. This is only natural
as an 8 bit display is only twice the badwidth of a 4 bit one and the
AGA chips have 4 time the ECS bandwidth. Add to that the newly
optimized 3.0 graphics.library and we have a zippy workbech in 256
colors that BLOWS AWAY ANY MAC or WINDOWS machine I have ever seen
at comprable color/screen resolution.

Another ancedotal tale: On my A3000 while running a 640x480 16 color
display the shell scrolled painfully slow, even with CPUBlit installed.

On the A4000, with a 256 color display, the shell was very speedy
and very smooth.

When I get the cash, I'm getting an AGA machine.

Well, I haven't painted my Amiga yet, but I did "personalize" it with a

I have an aqua pterodactyl "flying" over the power/HD lights; a rainbow with
