The Amiga can emulate lot's of computers, well! It can emulate a Mac
100% and since an Amiga can multitask properly it runs Mac
applications better than on the Mac. The Mac sucks anyway (take it
from me, I have the sole responsibilty for a computer room full of
Macs).

The PC is a toy. I use it for games. The PC is a workhorse, I use it
for heavy apps. I love my PC for doing both.

I enjoy the Amiga too. I've spent many happy years without and I've
regarded it as more than a toy - but of course it works perfectly well
as a toy too.

It's what you use a computer that determines if it's a toy or not. If
you use it for pure entertainment, it's a toy. If you use it to do
work it's not a toy. I know that many use an Amiga for TV production
(with Scala) and it's the best option for their work. Maybe they're
just a bunch of unserious workers?
