I'd like to ask about Atari vs Amiga Graphics.  I saw an Amiga last night,
and although I thought it was pretty nice, it didn't quite seem to be all
it's cracked up to be.  I thought the graphics were slightly fuzzy (maybe
the monitor), and the Gem desktop fonts were hard to read.  Maybe it's the
color combinations, I don't know.  I'd like to have either one of these
machines, but I want to text to look crisp.

Has anyone here actually compared the ST and Amiga side by side, both color
and black and white graphics?  How does the Gem disktop look on the atari?
Opinions please.
