- I just have one thing to say to Perry and Ben:
-
- ENOUGH, ALREADY!
-
- I, for one, am getting sick and tired of these childish attacks
- on one another's products. We, the readers and potential consumers of
- your products are learning virtually nothing from these endless rounds of
- attack and counterattack. Besides, you're wasting bandwidth.
- If you both must continue the mutual bad-mouthing, I hope you'll
- have the good grace to take it to .advocacy which is where this sort of
- stuff really belongs.
-
- >In closing, we have faith in our ability to produce a superior product, and
- >we are confident that the Amiga community will always respond to a superior
- >product. We happily submit ourselves to the only test which matters.

- I hope I can take you at your word on this.

- P.S. Thanks to Kermit for staying above the fray!
