Well, I basically agree.  But I think it's interesting how _this_ round of
"bash the other computers" began:

1) I (and some others) post some interesting _rumours_ regarding Next,
reprinted from MacWeek.  I think this falls under the category "something
really new to tell the world." (Even though it's only rumours).

2) Next fans respond: "MacWeek is crap.  The Mac is crap.", and so on.

3) I (and others) respond: "The Mac is not crap."

So, I think if Next fans could get over their contempt and/or inferiority
complex of the Mac, we'd avoid wasting bandwidth.   IMHO.
