        The only reason I am posting this to both groups is to put this
   to an end.  That and the fact that I can't seem to reach the previous
   poster through email.  

        For those who don't wish to look up old, boring articles.  I wrote
   a rather stupid letter, saying that the amiga is great, and that the 
   atari isn't.  That was about it. Read on McDuff.

	This here is from the 'Dork' who 'knows it all.'
   I just wanted to explain to you a couple of things.  First off,
   I really didn't mean that letter to get out on the net, and 
   most definately not to the Atari people.  I was, and for that
   matter still am new to the net, and basically my posting was 
   a mistake.. ok ?  I hit the wrong key, everybody makes a mistake.
   I found out about my mistake the next day when I had read what
   I wrote on the net.  I immediately posted a retraction, which was 
   not coherent, but managed to keep most people off my back.

        Second, it was a joke.  I admit, maybe not a funny one, but 
   still a joke. (I wasn't going to post it because I had forgot to 
   insert lot's of smiley faces, and thought that most people would 
   take it seriously even with the 8^) ) The letter, basically said 
   nothing, which was what I think most of the previous letters, and 
   current letters on the subject say.  In short in was a sarcastic 
   poke.  (mind you a failed poke, but a poke none the less)

        So, I am not a 'Dork,' or a 'know it all.' Simply a human who
   made a mistake.  I am sure we all make those ?

        As for the entire question over which is 'better,' I will say
   that I like my Amiga better, just as you like your Atari better.
   I still say that given time everyman learns to love his executioner,
   and that goes in both cases doesn't it.  Each machine has it's flaws
   but still we can, and do overlook them.
