Ok, ok
Ease up there. Let it go now. It's been 20 years.

Your last sentance there is just wrong though. Wasn't the Amiga chipset supposed to go in the Atari originally? So the Amiga wouldn't have existed if the Atari management weren't such dickholes.

So, 360 or ps3?

Let it go? LET IT GO?? LET IT F**KIN GO??????
Surely if people are still under the dillusion than an antiquated system which had no multitasking capabilities what so ever was better than the Amiga chipset then we need to set this right otherwise our grandsons will grow up living a lie!!!!

No multitasking?
Well, maybe not easily on the STe and Mega ST, but that was because they used the Motorola 68000, which couldn't keep other threads going if one crashed. Same as the Amiga, of course.

Then MultiTOS came along, which made a pretty fair stab at mulitasking, but was soon overtaken by the TT which had a 68030, fully capable of multitasking.

But then, Amigas were only ever used to play games with their rather crude graphics system. As the RM380Zs faded away from labs round the country and before the Amstrad PC640HDs arrived, you'd find lots of STs doing serious computing. No Amigas, though.
