I really have to object to the reliability of Amigas statement when comparing to todays PCs. I've never had any data or hardware failures with my home built Athlon/win98 durring its 4 years of service. My current HP/winXP, which is about 3 years old now has never had any problems save for the occasional blue screen from "try before you buy" (read: cracked) software. On the other hand, my A3000D had numerous checksum errors that resulted in the loss of years worth of 3D models and art. Not once, not twice, but three times. My A3000T had a hardware failure while working on a project for a client resulting in not only the loss of a job, but also the refunding of monies fronted for the project. I'm reluctant to actually use my A4000D VT/Flyer for the same reasons. When the Amigas worked, they worked very well. Even the MacPPC that I use at work, bought new in 1994 using the original 4 gig HD has only been in the shop for recovery once.
I'd have to say of all the Amiga models I have owned, the A2000 was the most reliable durring the short time I had one in service.
