This was in the BMUG section, not the Mac section per se.  BMUG (Berkeley
Mac Users' Group), at least the people in it who write the BMUG articles
for MicroTimes, have long had a totally irrational attitude towards the
Amiga, considering it only useful as an object of abuse and derision.
Very strange, considering that the majority of BMUG people are quite helpful,
friendly, courteous, kind, and all that, and think the Amiga is pretty neat,
although they do not (of course) believe it's better than a Mac.
