Atari is not pushing superiority, only price/performance ratio. If price is your only concern, then clearly the ST is superior. Having a mac/amiga/ST side-by-side demonstration lets the buyer decide. Atari's strong point is a price around half the competition's. Even if their comparisons are "unfair", are they $1000.00 worth unfair? No! Amiga and Apple should stop pandering "yuppie ads" and offer some substantive ads of their own if they feel mistreated. Apple could stress their "superior" user interface, and Amiga could stress its superior graphics hardware and multitasking software. Paul van de Graaf sdcsvax!sdcc7!ln63fkn U. C. San Diego
