I read your fascinating cover story ``Apple's High-Tech Gamble'' (December 1994). You'll hate this one: I bought the magazine and read the article because I am a long-time Amiga guy whose wife is forcing him to give up the ghost and get a multimedia setup for the kids. I'm trying to figure out what to buy--a Mac or a PC? Although I loved your piece, I'm as confused as ever and can't get off the fence.

The standard argument is there's more software available for PCs than for Macs, and that includes multimedia software as well. However, as an Amiga user, you'd probably be happier with a Mac. I am biased, though: I formerly owned an Amiga and now own a Mac.--Tom Halfhill

theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
