Hmmm ... I keep saying to my friends "I won't buy another Amiga/computer
until it has virtual memory, memory protection, etc" ... does this mean
I may be buying another computer before the end of the year?!?!

I hope so.  I like my 1000, but life would be better with an OS that
I wouldn't have to reboot every time a program hangs or goes beserk!

I hope I hope I hope ... :-)
