[ a lot of negative opinions re the PS/1 ]

I should think that the first thing Commodore should do is try to convince
its users to stop behaving like school hackers in most of the messages one
reads here.Every negative comment re the Amiga receives a personal attack.
Every Amiga owner seems to think they have the answer to computing.

The Amiga 3000 is a very interesting computer, but I suspect that many people
are simply put off by the amount of negative postings that we see here. You've
got a nice product. Don't blow it by giving those of us who aren't Amiga users
the impression that one has to join a band of groupies to own an Amiga. A lot
of families find the PS/1 to their taste. Not everyone is a power user, and
many people feel secure with an IBM purchase.
