- So what. There are millions of people who buy crap from the Home
- Shopping Club, millions of people who line up to buy Madonna ablums,
- millions of people who think "Home Alone" is moving making at its
- finest, millions of people who think Rosanne Arnold is a gifted and
- talented national treasure, millions of people who cram McDonalds
- food into their faces, millions of people who think Phil Donahue
- has important things to say, and etc.
-
- Just cuz something sells in the millions doesn't say one iota about
- that something's quality or usefulness or value. All it says is that
- someone's getting rich. Please, keep your Windows and enjoy it to
- the hilt, but don't try to convince me that it's in any conceivable
- way a better operating system than the Amiga OS. I've used both and
- IMHO there's no comparison.
