So much for your personal opinion. Considering how much time you spend
annoying comp.sys.amiga readers you can't be doing much with your Next.
Or is it that it is not yet available from your local dealer?

Could someone on comp.sys.next explain to this asshole that we are tired of
this thread and we DON'T want a war with Next users. Next and amiga are both
good computers. 'nough said.
