I dont agree.  Take a stock IIgs (orig model) and an A500... the Amiga
has far better Graphics and Sound.. The operating system (which boots
off a floppy disk) features a GUI and true premptive multitasking.
Sure the AMiga was not held back by having to be compativble with the
Commodore 64, so the designers definetly had more to work with... Im
not against the IIGs, like I said it is a great machine.  I just dont
think it is better then the Amiga.
