I know one thing for sure I do not want back my Apple IIe ! ;^) > It just bothers me when people leave messages to ALL, where they assume >that we're all a bunch of brainless dyed-in-the-wool Amiga fanatics, who >are all in some sort of Amiga club together, when the reality is that we >probably have very little in common with each other, except for the fact >that we all own a variation of the same appliance; namely the Amiga. What Good point. I made a point in the Amiga International echo recently that went something along the lines of it's only the ignorant or the jealous that think the Amiga is a toy. >prompted my last message was that someone said the alleged new Amiga will >eat the Mac Quadra for breakfast. Aw, come on! Is that what this is all >about, trying to say the Amiga is a better computer than the Mac? That's >sophomoric kid stuff. Then again, maybe the person who left the message >was a kid; but I don't know. But I do want that person to know that there >are many adults here that don't believe in the "Amiga is the only >computer worth owning" myth. Yeah it is kinda childish when people do that…. To me all systems have there place… for some that place is in history… god rest that original Apple II that I started out on :^) Each computer has to be rated on it's merits for that time in history, just think in a few years time the computers we are using will be total dinosaurs.
