I don't give a flying F$#@ whose damned machine is better. I don't care if the Amiga has AMAX or if it will support system7 or if it's faster or if a pink and green elephant comes free with every purchase! KEEP IT OUT OF MY NEWSGROUPS!!! I like my Mac... You may like your Amiga. FINE! I don't give a sh*t. But don't you rag on my machine because I chose it for my needs. I looked at both Macs and Amigas when I went to buy. I chose Mac. I like it. End of statement. You chose Amiga. You like it. Fine. But don't give me any of this crap about unresolved psychosexual feelings because of the computer I chose. You obviously are hypocritical because you are doing the same thing back. (i.e.- "My computer is better than yours... Nyah! Nyah!"). Take it somewhere else... I subscribe to the Mac groups to read about things for my MAC. So quit using up MY bandwidth. I don't mind intelligent debate about the usefulness of certain hardware additions or deficiencies, but keep the damn opinions out of it. And this isn't just directed at the Amiga people. Some of you Mac people are no better. If you want to scream all day at each other about how your computer is better, TAKE IT TO EMAIL. Mart
