Sorry, but if the Amiga is a games machine, then what is the PC? It has
far more games than any other personal computer.
 
There are a few very good games for Sun workstations, and they doesn't
make it a games machine. They only show the computer's POWER to do stuff
like that. Things that require fast machines, fast image display, and
of course, good audio quality.
 
What's the deal with the MSDOS machines? every program that runs on the
PC can be ported to the amiga, but that's not true the other way.
 
I am not bashing MSDOS machines, I'm just telling the facts. Please prove
me wrong.
