Yah know, I >was< going to honor the decision to quiet the NeXT/Amiga fight,
(AS PROPOSED 2 WEEKS AGO), but it seems a few Oxy-Infested la-bore-atory
freekz have chosen to pick it up again..

The AMiga hasnt dominated the market for several reasons: For one, the public
is generally ignorant. IBM's are obviously inferior to both NeXT, Amiga, and
Mac. But people buy them anyways. FOr every idiot who makes a bad decision,
and finds merit in it, hell go off and tell someone else to do the same.. That
other person, being a moron as well, is lead to believe that IBM is the one
and only. Wrong.

So the prepetual cycle of ignorance continues to this day. For me, theres no
difference between a user who goes out and gets an IBM, from a person who has
the intelligence to purchase a Coleco Adam. A bad decision is a bad decision.
Period. Ive used your platform, my platform, and one of the "high-end" EISA
towers at work, and there pretty much is a clear winner. As for NeXT, Ive
never used one to any lengthy degree, but I can say that its overpriced, and
undersupported. Dosent take a BS in Comp Sci to figure THAT out.. Hell, my mom
could tell you NeXT's werent worth it.

My advice to you is to pick up an Amiga sometimes. You seem ill-informed. Theh
mabye youll stop your >>>>>NeXT/Amiga whining.


Wise up, PLEASE. Save me the typing.

PS... As mentioned before, shoot me for knowing my system is an incredible
machine. Never degraded your Mac, did I? Will kiss your scientific-rump if you
can pull a feed where it shows I have.
