There is a difference between outlining the features of a piece of hardware/
software and endlessly bickering about which is better. I don't think this
discussion belongs in ANY newsgroup. Would you like to see 3 weeks worth of
argument about which is better a Roland Super Jupiter or a Yamaha TX802, based
on each machines internal hardware and software specs ?????? I know I don't.
If someone wants to post a note that talks about the good or bad points 
of a piece of gear fine, but personally, I've heard enough bullshit about
which 68000 machine is better.
I agree that it is fine to discuss computers as they relate to music in this
newsgroup.....I just get tired of relentless arguments based on people's
die hard loyalty to a particular box.
