Hey, informative comparisons are great (benchmarks,...), but this bickering (my computer is better than yours, na na na) is a load of crap. If you people want to communicate with each other, start a mailing list of people who want to waste each others time. This group is not the place. If anyone is offended by these remarks & feels the need to 'flame' me, don't waste other people's time by posting a message to the net. If you must, send me email (by no means am I encouraging this!). Let's try and keep this group informative... thanks

The "MAC of the 90's" discussion has gone on for far too long already. However, it is fun to imagine who must be more annoyed, those comp.sys.mac readers who have to put up with all of the NeXT junk, of the comp.sys.next browsers having to swallow all of the MAC junk!-) -- Paul Homchick :UUCP {rutgers | uunet} !cbmvax!cgh!paul Chimitt Gilman Homchick, Inc. :Internet cgh!paul@manta.pha.pa.us 259 Radnor-Chester Rd, Suite 140 :MCI PHOMCHICK Radnor, PA 19087-5299 :GEnie HOMCHICK

I've been following the bickering and find it useful. Even uninformed
comparisons tell me such things as what issues people care about, how
these machines are (mis)perceived, etc. As one who is evaluating the NeXT
as a platform for porting applications now existing on the Mac, let me encourage
you all to bicker on.

Wasted time is a relative concept. Even your posting wasn't a waste of time
because it helped chrystalize my thoughts on this matter. How ever, if you
follow this up to insist that those things which don't interest *you* are an
absolute waste of time, you will be wasting time.
