Can you imagine, trying to use GREP, SED, VI, EMACS, or, well, anything, really, without a CLI! Sure, no problem. You're significantly fucked in the head if you think that that A plain-jane MAC can out-grunt the Amiga, or that a super-MAC can out-grunt an A3000. On ALL levels, disk speed, capacity, CPU speed, memory addressing, multitasking capability, and above all, bang/$, your Mac's lose to the Amiga. You're living in a dreamworld. Or nightmare-world. Depending on what side of reality that you're on! Dac -- David Andrew Clayton. // _l _ _ dac@prolix.pub.uu.oz.au *or*|I post.I am.
