Hi Mac-Falcon. Great to see another ST fan joining to add his views. As I've said before, we might be an Amiga orientated site, but we love all retro hardware and software in its own special way.
...

That was actually a point I was going to make. I tend to discuss anything like this using my knowledge of the actual history of each computer system and how it sold, the software it had, and the...

Sorry, but some of those final statements just made me laugh because they are so inaccurate.



How wrong is that statement!!! The Apple Mac was launched in 1984, with Aldus PageMaker in 1985....

Some very good points listed in your Q/A summary and I have to agree when you look at both systems being used in the professional market place. For professional graphics and video the Amiga couldn't...

For me there is no point in turning any argument into a flame war. I never understand that on most forums. If you are going to discuss something then use facts and your opinion to write something...

We like a good debate here. And generally you will find Amiga owners to logically argue their case, whereas the Atari ST owners will get anger because they have to heavily defend their lessor...

Well, the Amiga is the true successor to the Atari 8-bit systems as both were designed by Jay Minor. It was only when Atari refuses to accept Jay's idea to develop a new chipset for a 16-bit system...

Had Commodore included the additional ports the ST had then yes...it could be very different and the Amiga might have also ruled the recording studio, which would have left the Atari where? Dead in...

Hi quackmore and welcome to classicamiga. :)

Great opening post to make on an Amiga board to get the juices flowing! ;) It might be years on but the ST vs Amiga debate continues, even though we...

That is very true. These days both platforms are mostly used by existing enthusiasts and it is great to see dedicated users still trying to squeeze as much as they can out of them.

For me is...

I've not used them but I have seen many screenshots and read quite a bit about the replacement OSs and desktops for the ST. Definitely a huge and impressive improvement over GEM and as you say it is...

The quote you gave is very accurate in relation to the whole battle between the Amiga and ST. Those fighting for the ST had mostly never actually used an Amiga so didn't really know both sides of...

Interesting to hear some comments from a still devoted Atari fan. Voice from the dark side! ;)

It is interesting that you mentioned you used an ST for business and an Amiga for games. And I have...

Exactly. The old ST fans are only sticking to their beloved machines because they haven't been shown the light. All they need is a healthy bit of persuasion in the form of a power surge, a puff of...

Go ahead. The less STs left in the world, the more likely retro fans will be forced to buy an Amiga and convert. :thumbs:

Or that TiredOfLife guy. He never seems to take anything seriously! ;)

For an Atari ST is should really be a matt light grey instead of silver.

I've always been interested in owning some of the later systems in the Atari ST range. Because I was an Atari ST owner before the Amiga I do still have some interest in the system, even though the...

Some of you might shoot me for posting this, but what the hell!

I just spotted an Atari Falcon 030 computer in a tower case conversion on ebay.

For those of you that don't know, the Atari...
