This happens to be the only newsgroup in existence dedicated to, and encouraging, computer wars. I don't mind seeing non-Amiga comparisons here. To me, this newsgroup is educational and fun. It's a lot more enjoyable, IMHO, to learn about other systems in a forum like this, than in the newsgroups dedicated to those systems, because _here_ you have people bent on "educating" others, while other newsgroups already assume a familiarity with the particular computer being discussed. wrote: >>[ You mean you actually _read_ c.s.a.advocacy, Peter? ;-) ] Well, *I* do, for the reasons I outlined above. This is becoming one of my favorite newsgroups. -- _ |__ Alex Matulich /(+__> Unicorn Research Corp, 4621 N Landmark Dr, Orlando, FL 32817 //| \ UUCP: alex@bilver.uucp ...uunet!tarpit!bilver!alex ///__) bitnet: IN%"bilver!alex@uunet.uu.net"
