The way I see it is, the OS and the HW are almost ONE. The HW has to be the best available. Of course the common user could not afford to buy that. So, the best of low priced equipment has to be chosen. Then, the OS has to be the best that it can be. After that you buy SW for the system. Use it, all these small pieces of the whole, and replace piece by piece as a new and better one become available. That's up to you to decide if the new one meets your expectations, of course.

So it comes down to which is the best tapestry that a person desires/requires. For me it is Amiga, as it was, and is. But now (well, for a long time) I need more. windyohs HAS NEVER been able to satisfy my desires. Sure current apps, with thousands of features, and thousands of games, but I am not willing to function the way their OS expects me to. Besides its' instability and "just not fun factor" which is more understood than explainable, like being happy wearing an old shoe, than buy the new gawdy nike off of the shelf. Of course, maybe the very shoe that you have on now was considered gawdy at one time too. That's the way I felt when I saw the A3000 and A4000 cases the first time, and I still feel uneasy about them (main problem I had with them is lack of space inside to add HW). But I love the A1000, A500, and especially the A2000 which I currently own. All I wanted them to do, when they went to A3000 was release a case 3-5 inches wider and a little taller, for extra slots and extra internal HD or floppy storage, more ports, and midi. Same exterior though.

Amiga! I'm dissapointed but soon elation will arrive! Hallelujah!!
