Oh come on now...   This group is NOT for computer bashing.
If you are so insecure about your machine that you need to post
such crap, go write it on a bathroom wall or tattoo it on your
ass!!!  And while you're at it, try to come up with some valid
arguments!

Calling the ST a "hunk of dross" is uncalled for.  The Amiga
has nicer features than the ST, of course, but that doesn't
mean that anything less than an Amiga 3000 is trash.  Using your own
logic, I could say that your Amiga and the Mac II and the
Vax and IBM mainframe machines are all "dross" because a better
computer exists.  Grow up, and take a course or two in logic
before you waste our time with childish bullshit.
