- Why, then, do I have this strange feeling that, although you
- claim that everyone is free to choose, you still are trying
- to convince quite a number of people, who are just as happy
- with their machine as you will hopefully be with your Falcon,
- of the superiority of that ATARI?! Can't you see that ob-
- viously noone is really interested in the facts, since they
- don't feel the need to buy a new computer? After all, this
- thread might just as well develop into another useless flame
- war, wasting a lot of bandwidth for nothing.
-
- As I said earlier, it is interesting to discuss about
- other machine's features. But it be of no use
- to keep up the old crap of "This is machine is definite-
- ly better than that because(...)" (Most of the time "with the
- same raw figures it is cheaper" seems to be put in the
- place of that ellipsis) It's the user who decides which
- machines does best what he -the user- wants it to do. That's
- all there is to it.
