This group was created for hacking out anything Amiga-related. That includes comparing it to other machines, and it can (and has) been done intelligently. However you, in your continual NeXTite rantings, have just been fanning flames. (Thank God for NeXT owners! They took away the Amiga owners' reputation of insanely die-hard defenders of their computer. Ask around if you don't believe me....) The charter of this group doesn't say "defend the Amiga." This group is for real discussion of Amiga-related topics. People express their opinions here and others present arguments or support. This groups is NOT just a catchall for computer vs. computer flame wars. Take yours to a NeXT or Mac newsgroup if you want to compare those two OSs. Should we suffer for having the wisdom to create a group for Amiga advocacy? No. BTW, we made peace with the Atari owners a good while back. You see, we are reasonable and so are they. Unfortunately, as you have exhibited, not all net users are reasonable. -- Greg Harp |"I was there to match my intellect on national TV, | against a plumber and an architect, both with a PhD." greg@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu| -- "I Lost on Jeopardy," Weird Al Yankovic
