- Amiga's have Virtural Memory, however i don't see who would want to use it.
- VM sucks, worthless using unless you HAD TO! And even then it is near worthless.
-
- Amiga's don't need VM like ibm's/mac's need it.. We don't eat 16 megs of memory
- loading one program with OS. :)
-
- Amiga's crash less than ibm's with memory protection.. It is suppose to keep
- your machines from crashing, but ibm's still crash with it. More than an
- Amiga would ever.
-
- VM, Memory Protection, etc are not required options to multitask well, Amiga
- is proof of that. In fact ibm's and mac's suck! at multitasking and crash
- more often. So who do you think has the more serious machine? That's right,
- AMIGA!
-
- If you don't have a clue in hell about what an Amiga is like, don't try
- to comment on it.
