- Harold, he probably had an Amiga 500 0.8 mip machine and thought this was what
- Amiga's were like in speed and performance. A500 is not bad but 040/060
- machine is a much more serious machine. He is like so many other lame ibm/mac
- users.. they think Amiga 500 when they think AMiga.. they have no clue to how
- good an Amiga really is. They don't understand that Amiga 3000/4000 with fast
- processor, graphics card etc.. blows away ibm/mac crap. Not to mention we
- can run his lame mac software on our machines if we choose.. I think this fact
- is what really gets him going in these areas.. he spent all that money on a
- mac and we can run his software at the same speed on our Amigas, with less
- crashes than him I bet :) This drives him crazy and causes him to post in
- these areas probably. Afterall, if he was happy with his apple mac, he wouldn't
- be here in these areas at all. This is without a doubt true, why else would
- someone waste their time on another machines newsgroups if they were perfectly
- happy with their crap mac.
