I am in the process of making a purchasing decision on either an Atari Mega ST
(when available) or a Comodore Amiga Computer.  One of the desired uses of my
new computer is to use it to create video titles that I can record onto video
tape when I edit home videos of vacations, etc.  The Amiga has composite color
video out, which is what I need for this application.  The Atari 1040ST and
the Mega ST (as far as I understand) does not.  Does anyone know of a way,
or better yet know of anyone who sells a box that I can purchase for the Atari
that can convert its RGB output to composite video?  I appreciate any info you
can give to me.  If I can come up with a box to do this, this will help sway
me to an Atari, otherwise, I will have to choose an Amiga.  Are there any
other strong reasons why I should buy an Atari?  I am a novice to personal
computers, so any info will help my decisionww
