If you don't know what this string is about, consider yourself lucky.

With the war going full force, and people getting quite close to being personal,
I would like to just ask for a cease fire.  Why am I asking for a cease fire?
Simple, once the group starts getting personal, (and mean), a lot of useful
information is lost because people get scared.  On other notesfiles, I will not
post a note to give new information or answer a question because there are 
people there just waiting to make someone look like an ass.  Let's not have it
here.

My personal opinion on the Mac/NeXT war is simple.  I own both.  I program both.
(Actually, my Mac hard drive is dead so I am not programming it now).  Which do
I like better, depends what I am doing.  I definately like the programming 
environment of the NeXT and I like NeXTStEP (capitilized correctly? :->)
I am not about to sell my Mac though.  I use it to compose my MUG articles 
because that's what people own.  I traded my Compaq for a Rottweiller because
it could not compare with my Mac.  I use my Mac to play games (As does my wife).
I use my NeXT to write unix programs. 

As a Workstation, NeXT beats Mac.  As a home computer for relaxing, Mac beats 
NeXT.  As a power intensive number cruncher, Cray is goint to beat both no
matter how you look at it.
