Thats right.  And LET'S NOT FORGET how unbelievably long it was before
there was enough software to make the Mac a viable machine.  Oh, the
promises the software writers made and broke again and again and again.

I believe the Amiga has done much better in terms of software/time in
general and with availability on promised dates.  How conveniently Mac
owners forget the Mac software drought when touting their machine! *I*
haven't forgot, for it was the reason I didn't buy a Mac (that and the
fact that the Mac doesn't have color).

Before Mac owners start flapping their jaws in this group, they should:

1) Get their facts straight.
2) Not forget their own dark history.
