I don't like to offend people who believe their machines are the best.
These people are everywhere. I thought Atarians were rather disillusioned.
For non-programming people, the sheer power of CPU may be everything but
for myself, speed means the time from the design stage, coding, debugging,
hundreds of times of debugging and rethinking to the end of a successful
execution. 68K is fast for me because I know it very well. Otherwise I'll
be reading the manuals all the time instead of concentrating on the program
itself. If someone gives me a 386 machine that runs perfect BSD4.2,
I'll be faster with it than on ATARI. (For us Japanese, 'atari' is a
rather annoying name; it's like calling 'bingo!')
