I'm glad to see SOMEONE had the sense to say this.  I believe you will
find that the vast majority of Amiga users/owners out there really have
nothing against the NeXT.  In fact, had I the money, I would probably
own both (an Amiga and a NeXT), as well as a SPARCStation, a Cray, and
the Shuttle Columbia :-).  However, I don't.  I had enough funds to
purchase 1 (one) computer, and feel that I made an intelligent,
informed decision.  I have no regrets.  Quite the contrary, I am elated
by the power, flexibility, and FUN my Amiga provides to me.  I
sincerely hope that any self-respecting NeXT user could say the same.

The only problem I've had is with the people who post articles which
have a negative tone, and appear to be saying "If you had a lick of
sense you'd RUN RIGHT DOWN to your local NeXT dealer and BUY ONE (maybe
even TWO!)".  This leaves a very bad taste in my mouth, and is quite
unnecessary.

Nahhh...  Don't you think having to USE a Mac or a PC is punishment
enough? :-)

Hey!  Watch where you bury that thing! :-)
