The only reason I am posting this to both groups is to put this
to an end. That and the fact that I can't seem to reach the previous
poster through email.
For those who don't wish to look up old, boring articles. I wrote
a rather stupid letter, saying that the amiga is great, and that the
atari isn't. That was about it. Read on McDuff.
This here is from the 'Dork' who 'knows it all.'
I just wanted to explain to you a couple of things. First off,
I really didn't mean that letter to get out on the net, and
most definately not to the Atari people. I was, and for that
matter still am new to the net, and basically my posting was
a mistake.. ok ? I hit the wrong key, everybody makes a mistake.
I found out about my mistake the next day when I had read what
I wrote on the net. I immediately posted a retraction, which was
not coherent, but managed to keep most people off my back.
Second, it was a joke. I admit, maybe not a funny one, but
still a joke. (I wasn't going to post it because I had forgot to
insert lot's of smiley faces, and thought that most people would
take it seriously even with the 8^) ) The letter, basically said
nothing, which was what I think most of the previous letters, and
current letters on the subject say. In short in was a sarcastic
poke. (mind you a failed poke, but a poke none the less)
So, I am not a 'Dork,' or a 'know it all.' Simply a human who
made a mistake. I am sure we all make those ?
As for the entire question over which is 'better,' I will say
that I like my Amiga better, just as you like your Atari better.
I still say that given time everyman learns to love his executioner,
and that goes in both cases doesn't it. Each machine has it's flaws
but still we can, and do overlook them.
