- Ibm's just suck period.. And we always here from lame ibm users how ibm's
- have Memory Protection and they can't crash... We also hear how they have
- plug and play now so things work when you plug them in... I personally
- don't see it.. Same old ibm crap as always..
-
- Also hear so much about how Ibm has finally passed the Amiga? They still
- can't get the computer to run decent and they have passed the Amiga?
-
- Also when the next generation of intel chips come out, p6, Windows 95 will
- run 15% slower than it does on p5 chips. That is really something to look
- forward to.. Things getting slower with faster chips.. IBM's are so cool,
- NOT!
