*** begin hypocritical, one-time response to arguments
(a) There isn't much of a price difference
(b) Protesting against having a feature is pointless -- if you don't want
     multitasking, just don't click that second icon and you'll never be
     the wiser
*** end hypocrisy

*** begin honesty
(c) Amiga-ST arguments are pointless.  The entire multitasking argument is
     a massive waste of vitriol, disk space and reading time.  I would propose
     starting a "computer-wars" newsgroup and sending all of these people to
     there.  -I- would sure as hell not be willing to moderate it though--
     I don't even want to read it.  I doubt anyone else wants too either.
(d) I am ashamed that I even wrote a letter about this.  Don't even bother
     responding to (a) and (b) -- I'm taking a moral stand on this one...
     replies will REALLY go to /dev/null, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

			JUST SAY NO TO FLAMES.
