You mean that when some people tell me that word processing on the Amiga is great, I can't easily refute it? Correct. When people tell me that the blitter awesome, but then we find out that it is equivalent to a 68030 in processing power. Don't worry I'm learning. And it's pretty safe to assume that I know a lot more about the Amiga than most Amiga users know about the NeXT -- I was a big Amiga fan for its first couple of years. In fact I still like the machine, but something bette has come along(IMHO). Mike M: You are posting about 50 articles on the same crap every other day. How 'bout at least combining it into one thread, so I can reduce the modem overhead for my UUCP? Besides, you aren't going to sell any NeXts here. Why not post in one of the PC groups where you might actually accomplish something (killing a few PCs). I have posted in the PC groups before. It's not like I'm just going jump in and say the NeXT is great. If someone makes a unreasonable post about the NeXT, I'll say something. In this group, it just so happened that the threads took off and never stopped. I would be quite content to let these threads die off, I would rather hack all summer on the NeXT. -Mike
