	Excuse me, but I need to put in my two cents.  I thik I can show just
how silly this whole "mine can do this & yours can't ... Nyahh Nyahh Nyahh"
affair really is.

	The Atari ST computer can quite easily run BOTH Macinotsh and IBM,
and quite well !
	The Spectre 128 runs 128K rom applicationsfor the Macintosh very 
reliably and very quickly(10-20% faster than a Mac can!).
	The PC-Ditto II runs 8086 software for the PC very well also, does
a very stable Norton SI 3.0.

Each of these items costs onlyy $300 -- signifigantly less than most top of the
line alternate O/S's and/or emulators.

Keeping in mind the afore mentioned "Nyahh Nyahh" doctrine and following it
religously, I should chunk my 386-20 Clonish and go buy back that ST I sold
a year ago or so!

DON'T FLAME ME YET!!  

I am NOT recommending anyone to go out and buy an Atari ST!  I used to have
one, and I am extremely glad I no longer have it!  I now own a 386 PC, and
am quite happy with it, I have paid for it easily with "pick up" work for
local companies, etc. and truly enjoy it.

I would also like another computer! Yes, a Mac SE/30 would be real nice
on another desk!  Come time to write a paper for school, I could be the
"bear from hell" (Gary Larson).

I cast my vote for... about $10,000 worth of both PC & Macintosh, with a
laser printer that can handle both!

The NeXT thing I wish for is.....
