It comes from experience. I've played with a LOT of different machines
in my day. (Happens that I sell computers for a living...) From VIC 20
to 64 to AMiga, from 400 to 800 to XE to ST and TT, from Mac at several
levels and from XT to current dinosaur. ANd it's a simple choice for
me: I get the most productivity in the least time with my ST. And facts
are facts. You go ahead and buy your $899 '486 with monitor. WOn't
offend me any at all if you find yourself headed for a service station
in the VERY NEAR FUTURE. When you buy cheap, you get cheap. Simple as
that.
