- No, THIS statement of yours is STUPID and DENSE. The OS on your
- Atari 800 that occupies 10K isn't EFFECTIVE. AmigaDOS IS, OS/2 IS.
-
- Some people buy Amigas TODAY because of the OS. Some people buy
- PCs with OS/2 because of the OS. Only a NUT would buy an Atari
- 800 TODAY because of the OS (in fact, ever, IMHO, for any reason -
- it's like buying a ... a C=16 or a Plus/4).
