You neglect to mention that Amiga is nowhere when it comes to a having an *extendible* *standardized* graphics engine with 32-bit color and a picture description language, and well-integrated networking facilities. Don't get me wrong -- I'd like to see more amiga features in the macintosh, esp. a more robust & self-repairing file system. But let's stop this whining about not having feature X when apple is clearly investing a heavy amount of development in features Y,Z and succeeding in bringing it to the marketplace.
