And the software was buggy as hell. Buggy, yes. But, ALL of the Deluxe series were written for the Amiga directly they were NOT ports from any other machine. Mellinger, I've sat here and watched your drivel go by for weeks now, and this is the first time (and the last time) I'll get involved in this debate. However, I would like to ask that you stop, and I'll tell you why - because you are beginning to make a damned fool out of yourself. It was well enough when you tried to paint a picture of the Next machine as a hot machine - that's something I would expect from any fan of any machine, even MS-DOS monstrosities. You have gone from that, however, to making unsupportable and just plain stupid statements about the Next line and equally unsupportable and ignorant statements about the Amiga, simply to support your own opinions. And you've had the damned gall to flame everyone else in this *Amiga* newsgroup because they've stated their opinions. Ease off, and make it easier on us all. We aren't stupid, you're not stupid, there's no need to act as if we all were. -- Mike Farren farren@well.sf.ca.us
