"Clunky graphics" are the graphics that aren't smooth.  Wing Commander is no-
torious for having clunky and blocky graphics, real noticeable when you're
hugging a rock, mine or enemy Kilrathi ship.

I never said DOS crashed.  DOS itself really can't crash unless you have some
bugs or something in it.  But still, I'd rather it say "Hey, look, somewhere 
something fu***d up" than just lock up on me.  I mean, I could move away from
the CPU for a moment after typing in a command and when I return there would
be noting but the cursor on the screen, with Amiga it's flashing Guru.  But that
is my personal preference.

Hey, I'm sorry if I sounded childish for rebuffing a direct Amiga flame.  But
as for IBM, I speak through experience.
