I want to say right off the bat that this is not a flame, nor do I wish it
to become a religous argument.  However, I must ask two things.  First,
how do you define closed (it's usually used to mean non-expandable; but
every Amiga has had SOME sort of expansion built into it).  Secondly,
and as one non-MS-DOS machine owner to another :-), how do you define
non-standard?  Thanks.
