There is another thing that Apple and Amiga Technologies GmbH have in common: The sort of fans that Macintoshes and Amigas have. Some of the Mac and Amiga fans are not only very zealous, they also seem very wronged about Macs and Amigas losing out to the Wintel juggernaut, which they rightly consider to be technically inferior. Not just the Mac and the Amiga, but also OS/2 and UNIX have similarly dedicated fans; Like the MacOS and the AmigaOS, OS/2 is a minority OS on the desktop, and even UNIX is being challenged in where it has been big. Also, the advocates of the Mac and the Amiga and OS/2 and UNIX point to one or another feature they consider superior about their favorite systems; the only M$ OS that generates comparable devotion is Windoze NT. In fact, I've yet to see any defense of (say) Windoze 3.x based on its features; its main defense is because it has a great market share. -- Loren Petrich Happiness is a fast Macintosh petrich@netcom.com And a fast train My home page: ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/pe/petrich/home.html Or ftp to ftp.netcom.com and go to /pub/pe/petrich
