a little flame applied here: don't we wish none of the Mac software works on
THIS Mac? but I did run a few and it is just like other Macs. What a 
disappointment! Don't we wish the IIfx will blow up and release radioactive
waste? finally, are some of us jealous and want to KILL the Mac? let's blow
up the Apple plant , man! I am seeing a lot of sour messages on s.c.a and
am sick of it, if you see others better, just work harder yourself. saying
things like using 6502 is stupid, they copied our ideas, they are too over-
price etc, is not going to make an Amiga better!
