Perhaps this explains why I found the atari machine I looked at yesterday
to have, in general, a much crisper and pleasing color desktop. Perhaps
some readjustment of the default Amiga workbench colors would help.
As a new Amiga owner, I am still satisfied with my choice, since for *me*
it is the correct one for the things I want to do with the machine.
By the way, you didn't mention the command line interface on the amiga.
I would sorely miss this on the atari.
In all, I thing both are nice little machines, and I hope they both
do well in the marketplace.
