Take a look at the header. You've already done that. These articles were CROSS-POSTED meaning both groups get this crap. The Amiga gets it by far the most with the Mac vs Amiga, ST vs Amiga, NeXT vs Amiga flames that pop up constantly. >Buy an Atari.

On local bbses in my area, there are ST users that call AMIGA boards to start wars. Every computer has its example of fanatics, and your a fine example. > ST/TT users don't deal people to groups according to their skills > in computing.

Hahhaha! The ST has more rampant piracy than any computer in existence! In Europe there are hundreds of ST pirate groups. >So, I think there is nothing wrong in the machine itself, it is just ment for >a bit different kind of use that ST. But there are users that make Amiga >look dirty. (there are such ST users also, but we wont let them loose...) Oh sure, I bet all those ST pirates/fanatic obey you fully. How do you propose to keep st users from 'letting lose'? People will do as they please. >I don't care which machine you buy, Amiga is an expensive toy and Atari, >especially with latest releases, is rather a cheap tool. Hahah...The ST has an even bigger game image then the Amiga! Get real. >Do you know any serious, famous musician using Amiga? I don't. >Do you know any serious, famous musician using Atari? I do, in fact too many > to count... B.B. King! Lets rephase this question: Do you know any serious, famous video/movie company using the Atari for Video? Do you know any serious, famous video/movie company using the Amiga for Video? Tons. Whats the biggest rage in the Video world? The Video Toaster! Th Amiga has better sound than the ST. The only thing the ST has is MIDI. Granted there is not much MIDI software on the Amiga's market,however the few packages that are availible are powerful. You can multitask Sequencers, Arrangers, Composers, and Video all at the same time, and synchronize Music to Video. The Amiga could be used to produce a music video, the ST could not. I used to use an ST everyday (at a friends house, to play games) He tried to get me to buy an ST. When I bought my Amiga, within a week his ST was up for sale, now he owns an A2000. > > Jartsu > Was I obnoxious? Yes..But I am SICK and TIRED of these constant XXX vs Amiga flames (except when they are in .advocacy!)
