What do you use your amiga for?

I work at the Toronto international airport control tower and we use Amigas basically for everything that involves getting the planes safely up or down.

amiga is a cool computer, i use it for playing games, browsing the internet (sometimes) and working from home via ssh.... but.... it crashes about every hour i would never trust it to do some REALLY important tasks.

i like the amiga and i am working towards my own nirvana - which is throwing away my pc and making the amiga my only computer (besides the c64), but amiga is f***ing unstable... this is a fact that remains and should prevent everyone from using amigas in critical environments... maybe a2000 with 2.x roms are better, but my os3.9 box crashes a lot of times every day

Mine isn't. Why don't you look at solving the problem before blaming the Amiga?

my amiga also does not crash, as long as i just do things that i know won't crash it, like playing games through whdload (like you told) or so.

it depends on the programs you are using. if the program does something wrong, it crashes the whole computer, no good base for running a computer in critical environment.

well, look as it this way: if that spacecraft would have went down due to an system failure... well... some astronauts would have died, they knew what they were doing... but if a plane crashes into the toronto tower, it could be /me :-D

@Technoid

if you argue like this, you should mention, that windows also is a pretty stable system, as long as you leave it alone, disconnected from net and all media removed ;-)
