All I can say is, is that >I'm Glad Its you buying the Mac Classic and not me!. Hmmm, really informative posting there. Let's try to guess what prompted it 1) Sour grapes: Can't get one, or can't afford one -- Naah the classic is pretty inexpensive, and though there is a waiting list, Classics ARE available. 2) Investment Protection: sell that non Apple stock QUICK! 3) Because he really believes it: No that can't be it, he would have JUSTIFIED the reasons why he disagree's with all the hardware experts who do like this machines merits, not to mention the tens of thousands of others who are willing to wait 8 weeks for delivery. 4) Stupidity: This does seem to be a valid reason. Sending a post kicking dirt on a new mac in comp.sys.mac.misc, without the least justification is without a doubt an act of stupidity. Steve, would you like to tell us all the REAL reason you posted? If perchance it was #3 we'd be interested in an intelligent report on why you feel that way if it isn't similar to "AMIGA RULES", and we haven't already heard it before. I really don't want to push you into making a fool of yourself again, so I'd advise you to not post if you can't say anything reasonable...
