It's not so bad that our computer gets sneered at by others. We are guilty of
the same offense. However, when a computer has a rep of being "only a game
machine". The developers of productivity softeware tend to give it short
shrift. If a Clone user thinks my machine is beneath him/her, I could care
less. When Borland, Lotus, Word Perfect, Aldus, and Autodesk think my computer
is beneath them, then it hurts.
