- You're forgetting that I'm a reviewer who has to wade thru a wad of

- Besides, even 1 crash a day is way too much, IMHO (OK, maybe not
- if you're developing). A good machine with decently (!) written
- software rarely ever has a 'fatal' crash. The Amiga now has a decent
- OS, but it has nothing to protect it from some bad hack taking down
- the entire system. It's about time something's done about this - even
- Win'95 and OS/2 have some protection for 32-bit apps.
