As a former Amiga (A500) owner, I'd have to say that the A4000 is very
impressive!  It does offer a lot of "out of the box" features.  It's got a
kick-ass multi-tasker, an INTELLIGENT ram disk, great sound, video, and
lots of other great stuff.

I moved to IBM compatibles because (at the time) the Amiga market
appreared to be dying and the IBM clone market was just beginning to boom.
The clone market is still booming, but Amigas have made one hell of a
comeback from when I sold mine.  BTW, my first hard drive was on my
amiga... back when Amiga hard drives were just becoming known.

Anyway, enough of my flashback... Someone asked how the IBM world views
Amigas, so here's my answer:

The Amiga is no more of a game machine than my 386.  They are great for
graphics, sound, MIDI, and so on.  Commodore deserves a lot of credit for
what they have turned the amiga into.
