I would be more tempted to think that you are being brainwashed by perhaps
some mesmerizing pattern in his .sig file... :-)

Yes, he raises some valid concerns.  However, just like a freshman psychology
student, he seems to know just enough to be dangerous.  I find it rather odd
how he can know enough to make a valid sounding point, but yet he seems to go
to extremes or abstracts at times to prove/elucidate his point.

So I read his posts becuase it gives me a good chance to see the opinions of
those who aren't 100% into the Amiga technology.  Yes, I see flaws/shortcomings
in the current technology, but I certainly cannot condone doomsaying to the
degree persued by Mr. Barrett.

Regards,

Steve
