This also admits that the Amiga is a better computer.... > BYE > PETRA. I'm cross-posting this to our colleagues in comp.sys.amiga to ask for their help in shutting this guy up. Personal computing has come a long way since the days when users had to assert their manhood by playing "my computer's better than yours." It's been several months since anyone in comp.sys.atari.st even played "Ataris are better than [insert brand name here]", or even "680X0s are better than 80X86s". Attempts to start such a discussion in this notesgroup are generally squelched or ignored, as they are totally useless and a waste of bandwidth -- and meaningless in today's marketplace. We prefer to use c.s.a.st as a forum for exchanging ideas on how to get more out of our ST's. Occasionally I even jump into c.s.amiga to see if there's something that might be useful for my ST (like DungeonMaster hints :-) We don't need this kind of garbage. It speaks of a third-grade maturity and a 1970's mentality. I think we (except for "Petra" -- too cowardly to use his real name!) are beyond that. It's a shame to see a computer as nice as the Amiga wasted on a jerk like this. Please, "Petra", stay off the net until you can post something more constructive and meaningful. And stay off of c.s.atari.st until you buy one and have something useful to contribute. Anybody want to add anything? Regards Ray Depew HP Colorado IC Division rrd@hpfitst1.hp.com

There is a person who goes by "Petra" on the BBS at mars.ee.msstate.edu (130.18.64.3) who likes to jump into the AmigaWorld, Sex, BrimStone (flames) and TeleCom boards. Just thought you might like to know. -Joseph Hillenburg UUCP: ...iuvax!valnet!joseph ARPA: valnet!joseph@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu INET: joseph@valnet.UUCP
