Not wanting to get out of my depth here with all the technical aspects
:) But....
Amiga released the product as OS3.5! It's printed on the box and
everythink :) That's its name, period :) To debate it is futile (cue
the Borg) :) It's like debating the new Amiga, it may be PC hardware
and a new OS. But it is an Amiga.
Because you may think differently counts for nothing :) Ultimately,
facts are facts :)
