- Well - if you read enough of Mr. Day's posts - after a while you
- realize that that is all he is really after - since the only
- company Mr. Day has is that Mac of his...
-
- Still - the 'does more' is really a matter of opinion. After all
- I'd prefer to do several things at once - and not have them die.
- (like they do so very often on the 7200's and 7500's we have here)
- Which is really only possible on the Amiga - or a much more expensive
- workstation - and I do mean WORKSTATION. Mr Day would probably call
- his Mac a workstation - but it's more like a 'PlayStation'... Though
- you can't reliably even 'play' on a mac. Mr Day is a rather 'fantastic'
- person... he lives in fantasy - and enjoys raking up argument since
- that is the ONLY way he can get any attention in this world.
