Bill,

Well, I agreee a GREAT deal with what you say. Boasting is bad, and just annoys
people.

However, the MM/1 and OSK have some features that are in great demand, and they
execute them well. Just a little multitasking and multimedia power -done
efficiently -- is what the Mac II and 386 folks want to do.

Maybe the way to resolve the boasting problem is to leave the boasting to
benefits and features, and not to systems. There are a great many features that
the Mac iifx has that we can't compete with (price is one we can't keep up with
-- the fx is darn expensive!). And vice versa. So we can't really boast "My
MM/1 is better that your iifx!" We CAN say, "My MM/1 multitasks and does
multimedia in an effective and efficient way, and although I'd love a 33 MHz
68030, I don't need it to do what the MM/1 does well!"

Or something.

Anyway, this discussion is moot. People will boast anyway, no matter what we
say!

Paul
