You're comparing apples and cinammon. AmigaDOS and UNIX are complementary.
If I buy a 386 clone and UNIX I won't have to ever say "Hey, I can't show
you "Boing-V: The Debate" because I've finally got on UUNET after 3 nights
of trying". Rebooting to switch operating systems is for weenies with Macs
and PCs.

I'm basing it on a complete Amiga 2000, because some of us don't already
have them. Like, for example, most of the potential UNIX market. An Amiga
2000 running UNIX isn't going to give them much that a 386 plus a 500
won't, and the 386-plus-500 will be more versatile.

Yes, I'd like UNIX for my Amiga. But unless it does something UNIX for a
386 doesn't... while running UNIX... it's not something hat will sell that
many *new* Amigas.

Hey, I didn't invite them. But they're there. Don't you remember, one of them
tried to sabotage you while you were setting up? Jack T. was his name.
