I agree wholeheartedly with Perry. I have struggled with CP/M-80, 
Apple's "DOS" (==cassette tape replacement), MAC's horrid ROM & Finder,
and MS-DOg, as well as Sys III and V. For small computers, Amiga's work
is innovative and reflects a general high degree of expertise and great
expectations.

I think most of us agree that Matt's statement is at the least far too
extreme and unquestionably a a valueless, reprehensible example of
an OPERATING SYSTEM ZEALOT. 

I'd like to commend the Commodore-Amiga designers and the support
people on the phones for their professionalism.
