Well said!  Actually Jerry has a number of online groups on BIX where
he gets hammered when he come out with something silly.  Unfortunatly,
by the time the Chaos Manner articles are posted on BIX, they are already
committed to print, so all you can hope is that he'll think harder or
ask a few questions next time.

Jerry does seem to favor the ST, but we'll allow him his own opinions.
I suspect it's simply that some ST affectionado was showing him how
wonderful the ST was, while the Amiga hackers were still trying to master
the true power of the Amiga.
