If you are going to have computer wars in this group, the amiga should be one of the competators. If mike melling wants to see Next vs. Mac // or vs. sparc, then make a next.advocacy group or Mac.advocacy since those comparisons have little to do with the amiga per se. I wouldnt mind seeing them, just not here. In CSnext.advocacy, yes. Not here.
