     I was also disappointed and a little hurt. It was precisely BECAUSE of
  my experiences on other computers that I had the IMAGINATION to understand
  what the Amiga could do for me. i.e. I would not have bought an Amiga if
  I had not been previously exposed to other computers.

     If Doug Barney continues this tone, he may damage the growth of the
  Amiga. Would you buy a computer when your initial impression was that
  the support group for it is SNOOTY? (Well yes if it's this good, I might
  1/2 ;-) Many people get some of their first impressions by looking at 
  the trade magazines.

     Doug, please.
