My reasoning: Beta vs VHS: more scan lines, higher resolution, smaller cassette. Sony's greed killed Beta. Ever wonder why TV stations STILL use Beta? OS/2 vs Windows: More crash resistant, better pre-emptive=20 multitasking, built-in voice recognition (OS/2 Warp 4 vs ANY incarnation of Windows). Word Perfect vs Word: Better table and column handling. (Version 6 for each.) Amiga vs PC: Sound and graphics were easily 5 years ahead of=20 the PC. The 1987 Amiga outperformed the 1992 PC for commercial video graphics generation. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <= A HREF=3D"http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/http://www.suse.com/Suppo= rt/Doku/FAQ/> and the archiv at htt= p://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html> --===============4094856139920583110==--
