Ok, I just got done weeding throught all the yelling and bashing on this
group AND comp.sys.amiga.advocacy. I must say that I'm really getting tired
of all this.  Yes, I am an Amiga owner, but don't go calling me any names
yet MS-Dos'ers, and I'm not a traitor Amiga friends. Look, I just want to
let you all in on a little secret. If your happy with your computer, then
shut up and be happy with it!!!!!!

EVERY computer has it's good and bad points. I've heard the arguements made
for every computer from the lowly Commodore Pet, all the way up to Cray Supercomputers.
It's always the same... each computer is usually good at doing some things
and piss poor at doing others.

MS-Dos and Friends: Quit bashing on Amigas. OK, so we didn't get the advantage
of having a company that supports us and lots of software developers. But
does that mean that we are any less capable of accomplishing the tasks we
set forth to do on our systems.

Amiga buddies: Stop harping on the PC community. They have a system with
a much longer lineage and heritage than ours. Their systems are capable and
usually of good quality. These people looked for a computer and decided that
the MS-Dos arena was the choice for them. We looked for something different
and found it. Each side has made a choice, and has (hopefully) been happy
with it. Argueing with the other group isn't gonna solve any problems with
either system.

What it comes down to is this: why not help each other out. Is there any
reason we all can't work together to just promote COMPUTERS, instead of any
ONE platform. Amiga's handle GUI's and desktop video more easily than PC's,
but PC's crunch numbers and have more support than Amigas. The best of both
worlds is found where each system's strengths are taken advantage of and
used to their fullest.

At my school, we have Macs, PC's, and Amiga's sitting right next to the Unix
boxes. Some people use each of them, because each person finds that one of
the systems there fits their needs and wants in a computer. 

Is it so difficult to imagine PC's and Amigas sitting side-by-side working
together on a project, talking over serial/parrallel/network connections,
banging away at a problem? I work in a government research facility. We have
a few Amigas that are used for some simulations, IBM's used for networks
and controlling systems, Sun's and Decs as Network servers, and Macs for
the secretaries. An intertgrated environment, with each system lending it's
own unique personality, is an environment that can get thing done!

Enough said!!

NO MORE FLAME WARS!!!!!!!
