Of course, there do exist others who share some of these opinions :)

It is sick, though- reading magazines and so forth.  I was looking through
this mag called "Computer Currents" the other day, and it is as if
Commodore computers (other than the Amiga, which at least got a nod) didn't
exist.  (I think the editors of the magazine mentally group the 64 and 128
with the Nintendo, which is REALLY sick.)

But what the hey, as RUN magazine said, Commodore users are a very dedicated
lot, and groups like comp.sys.cbm do an admirable job of supplying a sort of
customer support.  As long as there are enough of us out here to help each
other ou, we'll do allright.
