Yuk, just because it's got a copper and super-flickery modes doesn't
mean its better.

In order to have a decent Amiga system you need loads of memory ( to run
more than one program at a time), need more than one disk drive or a
hard drive and a monitor to access the migrane-modes.

Personally, I've never needed one of AmigaDos' biggest selling points -
the multi-tasking, although I realise that all Amiga owners play
Populous while they run massive ray-tracing sessions. (Well, actually
you can't do both those things on the Amiga at one time but we'll keep
quiet about that so that people think you can).
