Not wanting to step on toes, but I believe ALL computers have their places. Personally I use my Amiga(s) for just about everything because they are more enjoyable to work with, have more "eye" appeal GUI, can run circles around most machines (my 66Mhz machine can process images to the screen faster than my 350Mhz PC), I can port anything I do to a TV without any extras for presentation purposes, I have a completely independant Accounting system which our company uses for daily accounting, and ranks with those $800+ PC & Mac aps, and the list goes on. Penny for penny - the Amiga can do ANYTHING any other computer can do, and some things most others can NOT for about the same cost, and it is simply the computer I Choose to use because I like it. I use both PowerMac's and PC's for various functions, but Amiga will always be in my heart. Think of it this way - would you be able to use a Ferrari to move across country with? Use a Dump Truck to go to work every day to your high rise office? Take the soccer team around in a Limo after they won a game? What about the cherried out '57 Chevy under a tarp in the garage - plan to use it for a little off-roading with some 4x4 trucks? Think about it - it is a matter of preference, and I abhor anyone thinking they can push their own principals and standards on any of us Amiga Die Hards without having owned or worked extensively with an Amiga before. If they have, then they just don't get it!!
