Does anyone know if it boots Graphicaly or does it have that PC bios boot look? Please let it be graphical!!!

Oh please no, no, NO. I hate eye-candy and I like fast boot sequences.

Plus part of the original draw for the Amiga was that EYE CANDY......It was all eye-candy back in the 80's compared to the PC.

Eye candy is what for you? To me it's the unnecessarily lavish - sometimes to the point of seriously slowing the system - use of graphics to hide the creative poverty of the app/OS underneath.

What attracted you to the Amiga might well be the pretty pictures. What attracted me was 4-voice sound (and such quality! I forget how many arrangements I did using DMCS), multitasking, yes and the graphical capabilities (given that in 1985 no other computer had a colour GUI that came with the OS). Having a GUI made basic file management so much easier. Having colour made graphic design work, DTP etc so much easier.

Hardly superfluous.
