- As usual, Harold, your responses are devoid of both context and
- content. I don't own a Mac. I've said so repeatedly. The fact that
- I know all three systems better than most people on here (when
- considering total knowledge of all three systems, with several obvious
- exceptions) might have some bearing on the fact that a few people
- wrongly think I own a Mac.

- As usual, you Amiga advocates guess when you can't find facts. For
- the record, I had an A3000/25 with 6M RAM, 44M Syquest, 100M
- ESDI->SCSI drive, 105M Quantum, 210M Quantum, 52M Quantum, and various
- other drives while I had the machine. And I had an A500 too - when it
- first came out.

- Apparently you've never heard of the PowerMac, or the fact that Macs
- cost half or (far) less what similar Amigas do...
