For the last week I've been reading these computer wars, and have had just
about enough.  Next users on comp.sys.amiga are coming across as a bunch of
insecure jerks.  Why are you posting on comp.sys.amiga about how great your
machine is?  Since you bought it (hook, line, and sinker), I assume you like
it.  Please also remember that the amiga's following is just as passionate.

This may come as a surprise to many, but I don't give a rat's ass about unix,
which "standard" is better, or who's going to be the first to have a 68040
on the motherboard.  I would venture to guess that I am not alone in this
view by a longshot.

With my amiga, I have options to run Amiga, IBM, Macintosh, and extremely
soon, Unix software.  The Next is a nice machine as well, with lots of
cool PD software and upcoming stuff from big software companies like lotus.
Fine!

One really disturbing thing is the personal offense some Next users have taken
by the Byte article describing the new A3000/UX, followed immediately by
counter attacks against amiga users who are not responsible in any way for any
errors or misleading information it might have contained. (though I'm not yet
convinced it did)

Couldn't we all just grow up - just a little?
