   You don't know much about how the Amiga works, and it shows.

You mean that when some people tell me that word processing on the
Amiga is great, I can't easily refute it?  Correct.  When people tell
me that the blitter awesome, but then we find out that it is
equivalent to a 68030 in processing power.  Don't worry I'm learning.

And it's pretty safe to assume that I know a lot more about the Amiga
than most Amiga users know about the NeXT -- I was a big Amiga fan for
its first couple of years.  In fact I still like the machine, but
something bette has come along(IMHO).

   Mike M:
   You are posting about 50 articles on the same crap every other day.  How 'bout
   at least combining it into one thread, so I can reduce the modem overhead for
   my UUCP?  Besides, you aren't going to sell any NeXts here.  Why not post in
   one of the PC groups where you might actually accomplish something (killing
   a few PCs).

I have posted in the PC groups before.  It's not like I'm just going
jump in and say the NeXT is great.  If someone makes a unreasonable
post about the NeXT, I'll say something.  In this group, it just so
happened that the threads took off and never stopped.

I would be quite content to let these threads die off, I would rather
hack all summer on the NeXT.
