I first got an Amiga in 1992.
In June 1993 it started work as a bulletin board system, and it hasn`t been switched off for more than 2 weeks in total since - during which time (not all at once), I have had to reinstall the OS *twice* due to dead HD`s.
If this is the kind of rock-steady reliable performance you get out of your present PC, whichever OS you use, you can collect your medal (don`t go upgrading your OS now, we haven`t needed to (much)! ).
If however, you are still awestruck at how efficient, powerful, and downright pleasant to use the Amiga is, you may smile
It manages all this on a processor no faster than a 386-25 (i`m on an 020-14Mhz) and boots in 10-15 seconds flat to a proper gui.
Dopus is one of the definitive file handling utilities available in the world, it REALLY IS THAT GOOD, and the sooner someone ports it the better.
We are so damned stubborn in supporting it because it`s just so damned good, even today, despite being slower than your average calculator - it is still faster than Win-dohz for any non-processor intensive tasks due to it`s inherent intuitiveness and responsiveness.
They kick ass, and if you don`t believe it, go see one in action.
