- Pentium?! That's a CRAP processor, my dear! :-)
- Pentia still have *BUGS* yes, *BUGS*. No, not the famous *P60* bug, but
- other bugs. They even atmitted it at Intel! So, you prefer a computer with
- bugs?! And for $1100 you'll end up with a clone. Crap hardware. And I don't
- only mean speed but also LASTABILITY! Yup, LASTABILITY! I've seen *DOZENS*
- of clones that had faults after some months of using!

- But I don't want a MAC. I can get a MAC even cheaper than that!
- Shapeshifter! :-) And I don't want a crappy clone either. I want a real
- computer, so that'll be either an Amiga or a Sillicon Graphics. One of them
- is a bit too expensive, so I'll prefer the other one!
- BTW: Did you know that Sillicon wanted to buy the Amiga Chipset some years
- ago?!

- Powermac?! But I don't want a powermac. I want a *REAL* computer. (See
- above)
