  I've been reading comp.sys.mac* since 4 years and find almost all 
discussion rational. The discsussions "Mac vs. <another computer>" are indeed
rational, there are a *lot* of technical arguments and comparisons, but I'm
not interested in the Amiga or Next CPU, I'm a MacFreak! I bought my *Mac*
for a couple of yrs ago and I don't have money to buy another computer. I
can't afford loosing my illusion of Mac as the ultimate computer :-) !

  Kill-files? I don't use kill-files because the subject-line doesn't say
anything about the real content. So my only hope to stay away from the
computer-war articles is to post articles like these and ask people to
move the discussions to comp.sys.amiga.* or something else.

  Well, that's *my* point of view. I guess there are other "chompbitters"
with other opinions.
