How much have you used these computers?

Take mac paint and Neochrome.
      Both are made by the companies that made the computer
      Both are limited in features and have the same basic features
   I have never found an error in NeoChrome (and I'm using a pre-release
version, .5 I think), but I bomb often (especially when printing) when
using Mac Paint (I of course stopped using it).

The mac doesn't offer a good programming environment, it seems that
every time I try to do something, the stupid OS gets in the way (with
the mac of course) but with the ST, you don't deal with gem unless you
call it yourself!

Also, I am using system 6.0 (haven't got an update yet) and cannot run
many programs due to poor memory allocation!

I have run into serious errors (OS errors with system bombs/lockups
etc.)  many times on the mac, and although I know there are errors on
the ST, I have never come across them!

The clincher is this:  I use my ST over four times as much as I use my
mac, and I have come across more errors in the OS and software of the
Mac than on the ST!

All I can say is that you must be jealous of how great the ST is
compared to the mac, and the fact that everything for the mac costs so
much more!

P.S.

Why do Atari haters read and post to the ST net?  Why don't they STOP?!
