 Wow talk about flame-bait. The arguments are that the ST came out the
door first. The ST<>Amiga wars do live on. In my opinion the ST was a much
better machine and I do have 2 A-1000s, a 2000 and a 3000. They are
anything but rare, just look at E-bay. They've also retained their value better.
 The comp.sys.atari.st newsgroup is very active. Try one before you simply
repeat the rabid Amigans crap. The Atari was the machine of choice for most
serious musicians and is still used by many especially in Europe.
 The Tramiel-Amiga-Atari war was complicated and is well documented.
