     Oh you really can't take a joke can you. First you insult me for thinking
   that I don't know that I have a 68000, and now you come up with another reason
   to ignore the facts. I find that quite often you are doing this.

Sorry, but it's not too hard to understand why I ignored your article.
There were too many others to read, and one that starts off with the
Amiga has a 6502 seemed like a good one to skip.

     Maybe you should stop being so closed minded. You are just arguing because
   you have a computer that is nExt to dead, and you are trying to hype it as
   much as possible. It happened when the Atari ST died, it happened when the
   Amiga was on its knees, and it happened when the Apple IIGS was conceived.

The NeXT isn't dead, not by a long shot.  It's now just starting to
catch on.

     Admit it. Your goal is to find a reason why you didn't make a mistake in
   buying your computer.

I don't own a NeXT.  The last computer I owned was a Commodore 128,
and I traded it for a VCR.  I'm sitting in a room with a NeXT, an
Amiga 2500, a Mac IIci, an IBM Model 70 plus a bunch of older
computers.  In addition, I have an account on some SPARCstation.  So,
I get to play with everything for free.  So, I'm not some stupid kid
who bought a computer and needs to reassure myself that his computer
is the best.  I'm someone who gets to make an unbiased decision after
playing with everything.  Guess what my decision was. :-)
