|Autobooting, V1.2 of the OS, FFS, etc. taking priority over a rewrite of
|AmigaDOS).

[rumblings about why CBM management should give away AmigaDOS for others
to 'fix" and let Usenetters be the beta testers OMITTED]

The rest of your message shows your "childish behavior" hasn't really 
changed. Grow up, pal! And welcome to the real world. Your delirations don't 
make any sense. You should feel even more silly NOW.
