I have plenty of experience on MS-DOS machines and beleive me, They rarely just run time at .... then drop to dos. Haven't you ever had to ctrl-alt-delete to get out of a buggy program ??? I have had to plenty of times (yes on MS-DOS machines). Amigas, instead of just sitting there like an oversized paperweight, determine that the program has errored and tell you what has happened.. such guru errors as not enough memory and things similar to segmentation faults on Unix systems are common. So don't tell me that your IBM crashes better. I have noticed that most of the insulters of AMIGA actually have very little knowledge of the machine and all of its capabilities. This shows me the impressive quality of amiga users themselves, only a few amiga users have trashed the mac or ibm on egotistical matters, while the mac and ibm users have to resort to that sort of bashing to feel better about their machines, Thank you amiga users for showing your fortitude...
