Notice that I included "in a lot of fields". I have yet to see sprite 
manipulation as good as anything an ST or an Amiga can do on a 386, let 
alone a 486. No 386 sequencer (or 486) has been able to beat an ST one - The
card (on a compatible) is merely for the MIDI ports. These very well do 
qualify as fields where the 68000 beats a 386.

Not flaming but informing.
