Yup, I looked over there as well...tons o' smug amiga users who exhort
Mac users to "Turn off MultiFinder" when their machines crash. Yeesh.

The Amiga seems like such a nice machine, unfortunately its sold by a
company that can't market it to save their lives.

Why they seem to enjoy trashing Macs so much, when MS_DOS, Windows &
OS/2 offer such rich endless possibilities for ridicule is beyond me.
