hi there,

shure  enough it's time to get annoyed by all these "I've got a better computer
than you, whatever arguments you'll have" discussions. That's suitable for
some comp.sys.home.computer.kiddie newsgroups, but not for us serious 
mac users. If you want to have "TheBest" computer, then buy a BIG box,
a Cray Y/MP, a IBM 6000, a NeXT, some Macs, an amiga and a 50 MHZ 486 machine
and try to work out a operating system which includes mach, mac_os, X-windows
NFS, AppleTalk, TCP/IP aso. and put it all together into the box. By that
time you'll be $1 Billion down and the "solution" won't solve any
specific problem at all. So I suggest not to discuss what computer is better,
but help to work on solutions for problems. Maybe we can discuss improvements
to the systems but once and for all stop that stupid "haha, but MY computer
does have all this". It really doesn't solve the problems people might have.
And it doesn't make life any easier.

Have fun, anyway.

Oliver.

Ps. we should have a comp.sys.what_is_the_best_computer newsgroup for
those who really need it.
