     Considering the latest outcry against NeXT postings in the group, 
I would seriously doubt if anyone would be mildly interested in 
reading MORE comparisons!  Please, do your comparing in the 
comp.sys.next group.
     Speaking of these "computer vs. computer" threads that seem to 
find their home in this newsgroup, why is it that since day one, Amiga 
owners have always been on the defensive?  Ever since the days of the 
ST, Amiga owners have been given the job of clearing up TONS of 
mistruths and blatent lies.  While the Amiga seems to have finally 
disposed of the ST line, we have a new rivalry, the MAC and the NEXT.  
What gives here folks?  NO COMPUTER IS THE BEST FOR EVERYTHING.  The 
Amiga, Mac, IBM, NEXT etc. all have their good and bad points, and 
neither of them is suited for ALL types of work!  If it hadn't been 
for the Amiga though, cheap desktop video and multitasking would 
still be a fantasy.
