Excuse me, I was unaware that buying a faster (yes, faster!!!  8 Mhz CPU,
16 Mhz memory - not just "fast memory", but the entire addressing range
of the computer - 32 Mhz graphics chip) machine for less than 1/2
the price of the _amiga_ qualified one for brain damage!

So which is it?  Leave_them_alone or sling_more_silly_insults?  Make up
your mind!!!  Maybe the above quote should be re-stated:

	take an _amiga peecee_ owner, put them in a dark closet.  when (if)
	they grow up they'll be more consistent in their arguments.

I will agree that it is a waste of time to continue this debate over
the two respective nets.  Why don't we move the discussion to
net.silly.insults where it belongs?
