- Sounds to me that you are worried, why don't you just go back to you Mac
- hole and stay off of here. I don't need any of your crap. I can name
- many apps on the Amiga that beat the pants off Mac apps in
- price/performance. But I won't waste my time. Have you ever used an
- Amiga? I use a Mac and it beats DOS/Windows/Windows95 (which I have
- also used), but that doesn't mean I prefer it over the Amiga. I wouldn't
- say we have anything to worry about... Apple is the one that is in
- trouble (monetarily) for lack of marketing. AT is being smart right now,
- consolidate marketing strength in Europe, get the right mix of features
- for the next generation, then go for the NA market. After all, the Amiga
- needs to go against WINTEL, not Apple. Apple wouldn't stand a prayer of
- burying anyone, but MS - that's another story... They have an awful lot
- of capital....
-
- So you have my one and only response, if you can't say anything
- constructive GET LOST... And I'll concentrate on steering AT toward a
- machine that continues to meet my needs.
