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. +-----------------------+--------------------+------------------+ | Jim McCabe | Bitnet | UUCP | | G31 ECH MTU | ---------- | -------- | | Houghton, MI 49931 | jemccabe @ mtus5 | mccabe @ m-net | +-----------------------+--------------------+------------------+
