Many moons ago the flame war started, who knows by whom, who cares!
(Note the following is a request for peace, will a respected NeXT
person please quite the NeW NeXT fanatics who are posting messages
like crazy in OTHER newsgroups! I read comp.sys.next, I just don't
want to read about NeXT in comp.sys.* (where * != next))
Both machines use the 680x0, what on earth are we fighting about!
Both are much better than brain dead PC. Both have uses. Enough
is enough!
Get the NeXT crap out of comp.sys.amiga or you will see more
messages in comp.sys.next in one day then you have seen in the last
month, I mean it!

Considering how much time you spend annoying comp.sys.amiga readers you can't be doing much with your Next. Or is it that it is not yet available from your local dealer? Could someone on comp.sys.next explain to this asshole that we are tired of this thread and we DON'T want a war with Next users. Next and amiga are both good computers. 'nough said.
