Well said, John...
 
And just for the record (and hoping that all the David PZs, and Marinos
Yannikos' and Warwick Allisons out there are reading the words here, and
not the blank spaces between them), while I might not go so far as to
say that I think my 520 ST (original TOS 1.0 version) is the "best computer
in the world", it IS the one I prefer to use, over all the other ones at
my disposal...
 
In addition to what you said about the impressions given by those who
almost mindlessly either support or "bash" Atari computers, I think the
same kind of impressions can be drawn from those who out of their seeming
insecurity about their own computer find it necessary to "bash" everything
and anything that's NOT the same as their chosen computer.  I'm constantly
amazed by the feeling that attacking or lying about a different kind of
computer will somehow make "my" computer better...

Unfortunately, as I mentioned in another posting, I think a lot of this
is due to the effects of the market.  People who own a computer in a
thriving, vital market have better things to do with their computers than
to engage in flamewars.. 

The lack of new products to talk about, the lack of places to buy new
things for our computers and the lack of a feeling of support gives us
very little to talk about, and that vacuum becomes filled with the kinds
of things that flamewars are born of...
 
Saying "Well, there's nothing much new for my computer, but PCs suck"
fills the void.. but doesn't say much for the person saying it...
