Just for the record, the Mac got just about the same treatment from Jerry.
He bashed it for months--he liked the idea, but hated the implimentation.
Drew a lot of flames from the "MacTribesmen", as he called them.  Then 
Apple made some improvements and MicroSoft came out with Excel, and Jerry 
got religion.  Now he'll tolertate all sorts of atrocities from the
beige toaster.

Yes--good job, folks.  Once Jerry decides something is worthwhile, he
usually sticks to it fairly stubbornly.  So, hopefully we'll be seeing
more praise for the Amiga from JP from now on.
