- This is not absolutely correct. You might recall the early days with older
- versions of the operating system. These days - even without mmu-protected
- os-core - the AmigaOS is quite stable. I remember running a Nos variant on
- my old A1000 with OS3.1 in very long periods without any problems. Nos is
- a selfcontained tcp/ip stack with all services compiled in.

- A 'real' computer is your own computer of choise. Not someone elses. I don't
- think the guy can use your answer at all.
