[lots of the usual stuff about how much the Amiga sucks deleted]

Seems you're well on your way to winning the Whiner of the Month Award.  Rabid
Amiga-nay-sayers are as pathetic to listen to as rabid Amiga-zealots.  If you
feel the urge to constantly compare the Amiga and the Mac, try to at least be
objective about it, and try *constructive* criticism rather than criticism for
its own sake.  Apple has not achieved Computing Perfection, and the Amiga is
not wallowing in mediocrity.  Nor is the reverse true.  I will be the first to
admit there are areas where the Amiga needs improvement, and I have said so
on many occasions.  But when I do, it's accompanied by thoughts on what we
can do, not "WAAAAAHHHHH!!  Their computer looks nicer than ours!" moaning.

Please...the Amiga gets maligned enough by people ignorant of its capabilities.
We owe it to ourselves, at least, to be objective in discussing it.
