    Well, I haven't seen any, but I don't read comp.sys.mac that often and
don't really read comp.sys.amiga that much more (actually all the recent
responses came from someone posting a blatant Mac is better than Amiga 
message), but I have seen many Mac users post obviously incorrect things
about the Amiga on BBS's (the common Amiga as a game computer concept), and
I have also seen Amiga users post misinformation about Macs.  Both sides are
equally guilty.

    Yes, both the Amiga and the Macintosh need to learn things from each other,
although it looks like the Macintosh learned quite a few of them with the IIfx.
