I subscribed to get Best of BIX on Amiga.  Guess what they deleted on my
first issue.

I am not claiming that you should not subscribe, I have had the subscription
form tacked up taunting me for many months now.  Further, I run an Amiga
User group which puts out an approx. 8 page laser typeset newsletter 
every month (take that and put a smiley on it).  Giving a CLI class to
help out novice users has also cut into my free time.  The intent of 
my flame was to point out the following:

   Steve spoke with authority from a position of ignorance to a large
audience of potential Amiga owners.  He claimed that the machine could
not do something that the designers spent quite some time making it do,
thus de-valuing the computer to the potential buyer.  

Steve is a very smart guy, smart enough to know that an Amiga is not
an IBM clone, smart enough to get help when he needs it.  He didn't.

He earned the flame as surely as I would earn it if I stated as fact that
1.4 would not work on a 1000 (WHICH WE ALL KNOW IS FALSE BECAUSE THE
DESIGNERS SPEND QUITE A BIT OF TIME MAKING SURE IT WILL).
   
So, what is PMG'ing and how many articles have you written yet? :-) :-)
