It's very easy to say "my computer is so diffrent than yours, we can't 
compare them".

The CPU in a PC used to do everything a few year back, but this is no 
longuer the case, now it has also chips to help the main CPU (intelligent
SCSI chips or SCSI boards with on board CPU, GUI accelerator, etc..).

You have to face the reality and admit that the Amiga as loose it's 
technology advance.
