Maybe after 70 lines of armchair psychiatry you'd get the point that your post really wasn't that humorous, and if you insert the words IBM or Mac in your post wherever the words 'Amiga' appear it will read the same. Your post doesn't portray the average Amiga user, perhaps it portrays your own Amiga history and feelings. If you actually have owned another computer other than amiga and particpated in IBM/Mac communities you'll see the same religous attachment to them. I have been seeing IBM users bash Amigan's on WWIV nets for years. The same religous attachment for computers, also extends to other things like cars 'Oh yeah, my Chevy is better than your Jap Toyota' ,'Oh yeah, my Nissan is better than your XXX.' Perhaps you don't 'get' my signature line. Its from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Taken literally, it has no meaning. (NeXT's arent useless, the joke in the sig line is the play on the worlds 'useless,irrelevent,futile' from STTNG's Best of Both Worlds.) >>"NeXTs are useless... Mac's are irrelevent..
