You have it bass-ass backwards, Wally.

In all honesty, and with due respect, I think you have.


I came onto this newsgroups
hoping to get some substantive, factual information.

Would I be correct in assuming that you were looking for said information to
aid you in your purchasing decision?


Instead, I found
out that most of the Mac-bashers have never sailed the current Mac 26,
and don't know what the hell they are talking about, yet despite this,
don't hesitate to pontificate and sneer and try to intimidate anyone
who likes the boat. This reveals to me that the Mac-bashers are
either: (1) stupid (2) incapable of rational thought, or (3) liar.

Frankly, I think "intimidate" is a bit strong. This *is* a newsgroup, after
all. If you know anything about usenet, you'll know that conversation is
often robust to say the least.


In any event, it put my mind at ease with respect to what I thought
might be some problems with the Mac, other than its inherent
limitations that I already knew. Thus, my decision was simplified,
and I proceeded to place my order.

What probelms in partcular were you concerned about, and how could those
concerns be put at ease when all you've had is negative comments?


... Because they are substantially
sold out for the rest of the summer, I'll be one of the fortunate few
who will be able to take delivery of this spectacular and innovated
boat this season.

What is spectacular and innovative about it?
