My software must be more macho then yours; I have to flush my Amiga
hourly.  (of course I'm developing software in C--bummer if it's only
on the ramdisk).  (I even read an article by some pro sw developer who 
said he'd compile&link on one amiga, download code to a test amiga, 
so he could be working while the test amiga reboots.)

[this should not be construed to be a complaint, just a fact.  to me an
amiga is the volks-personal-computers.  no wetbar or tv, but it's got 
power windows fer shure!  i mean, anybody who hasn't lived with a task-
per-window just doesn't know what they're missing.  just like this Sun,
except scrolls faster (well maybe that's not the Only difference) ]
