This is a very good point. The ST and Amiga are somewhat similar machines,
and actually there will probably be *some* overlap of their markets. When you
look at the prices of both systems *WITHOUT* the monitors, they are not all
that far apart. I don't really think that it is fair to call one simply a
BETTER machine. My C64 is better than my UNIX box, for playing games. But
for serious work... I think that the choice between the ST and Amiga would
depend on the needs and priorities of the individual, since they do have their
different capabilities.
