The amiga didn't last longer actually - the ST went on much longer, why? because it was used widely in the music industry in recording studios etc because of its midi interface
Its all in the midi baby

haha jawa, no no no 
the Amiga was still being made only 2yrs ago, the ST definately wasnt. The Amiga had numerous OS updates and lots of apps, the ST didnt, bit like the PC to Unix scene The Amiga was used to make alot of the gfx for Deep Space9 to, and used in the Music industry just as much Admit it ST failed, Amiga owned
