  There is only one thing that you should think about when you are looking at
computers and/or are thinking of defecting from brand X to Brand Y - which do
you like better?
  We can fill up 20 zillion newsgroups with discussions on '40 chips and
I have this software and you don't, but it doesn't mean a thing if you don't
like your computer.
  I was a die-hard Commodore guy, then I was an IBM guy for a spell, then I got
my Mac, because I had used Macs for a year and loved them.  There may have
been a few other factors, such as soft/hardware, but the fact that I *liked* the
Mac is what did it for me.
  This is also aplicable to the Amiga vs. Mac messages.  It's obivous that Amigausers love their Amigas and want to emulate Macs, not becaue they can, but
because they *want to*.  It's just that they like their Amigas more.
  So stop all the bickering about hardware and all that and go out there and
test drive an IBM, an Amiga, a Mac, a NeXT, and whatever else pleases you.
Figure out which one you like, and buy it!
