I didn't see it mentioned anywhere -- what's the winners' prize?
I'm just assuming for all this frothing and foaming at the keyboard there
must be at least a few grand at stake. I mean, why else would otherwise
intelligent people degrade themselves by getting into what is basically a
"my computer is better than your computer" fight?
I'm not trying to piss on anyone's corn flakes with this message.
I realize I don't have to scan this group if I'm not interested in
its content. But that's the thing! I swear, I read the messages in this
group with one hand over my eyes, the fingers spread just enough to observe
what resembles a three ring circus of immaturity. I'm intrigued with
comp.sys.amiga.advocacy the same way "professional" wrestling intrigues
me -- I can't believe people get seriously involved in it.
Perhaps this group should be renamed "comp.sys.amiga.insecurity,"
or if you prefer (I'm not taking sides) "comp.sys.mac.insecurity." Why
waste band with such exercises in futility? Does anyone actually think
they can convince the other side that they're wrong? Who will admit to
spending a few thousand dollars on the "wrong" computer system. You all
know the other side won't budge, so you're actually doing all this to
reassure yourselves of your computer purchasing decissions.
But I guess this, too, is a waste of KB. Most of the regulars
here are far too addicted to the flame-drug to listen to reason and give
up before they become hard-core junkies.
Instead, Why Not Have a Cream Soda or a Cheese Sandwich?

PS: I'd be willing to wager all the Mac advocates have wet dreams about
Amigas and all the Ami-smoochers secretly and shamefully read
MacWorld.

I, for one, read advocacy because its hysterical! (Once in awhile I even learn something.) Hit 'k' if it gets too serious. ortmann@plains.NoDak.edu (Daniel Ortmann)

There is quite a bit of misunderstanding on the part of some of the participants of both sides of the conversation. Anyone who takes the time to look for the facts behind the flames will pick out lots of good information.

The .advocacy group exists to move machine/machine stuff out of the other .amiga newsgroups. Machine/machine stuff is a reality of electronic life. The most informative stuff I've read about other systems has usually been the result of machine/machine discussions. > Amigas and all the Ami-smoochers secretly and shamefully read > MacWorld.
