Normally, I would have kept it to myself (and MAILed directly to the
person involved), but I was angry with the person who'd "flamed" me just
because I put a personal opinion at the end of one of my postings.
I don't like being accused of posting "childish bulls**t" and being told
to take a course in logic (???), so I thought other people should see
some extracts from his MAIL to me, along with some 'arguments' he requested
I supply...
Anyway, if you want to see a GOOD machine, forget the Amiga, Macintosh and
Atari ST - buy an Acorn Archimedes...I've been programming in ARM (RISC) code
for a couple of months now and it is BEAUTIFUL (so's the Archimedes - puts
all other machines below a MicroVAX 3500 to shame).
