- Yes, but on the amiga we at least have a system that is crashed by external
- programs, instead of crashing half of its self. Plus, I have very few apps
- that crash, and they will be gone soon. Unlike PC users, amiga users don't
- stand for crap.

-
- There are no new things in win95 that haven't been done by one of these OSs:
- UNIX,
- AmigaDOS,
- CTOS,
- loads of mainframe OSs,
- the ZX81.

-
- more than 16meg? PC stands for "Personal Computer", not "Personal
- Mainframe". 16 meg is a huge amount of RAM, and no OS should need more than
- that to work in a decent fasion. Win95 sucks.
