i think the Amiga's crashing have been exagerated here.
My A4000 68060 with CV 64 was very stable. i used it for many things Photogenics, ImageFx, Cd burning, hell I even typed out soemone's divorce submissions in Wordworth. It crashed, but that was nearly always due to reproduceable bug in the app, and not every hour as some people have said.
I knew an Amiga "pirate" ( I know shame on me) who had an A4000 with a warp engine who never switched it off and had up times in the weeks, and this guy had dozens of patches, mcp, cgx all the while downloading, uploading, irc'ing, browsing, YAM, burning from 4 scsi cdr's (he was into PS1 at the time), and word processing for a thesis in Final Writer, using a heavily configured DOpus 4. His dOpus 4 config truly was amazing, like nothing I've seen before or since. But he really knew what he was doing in that he knew how to configure his system to avoid conflicts. At the time he was multitasking so many things that it would have brought the piping hot P3/Win98 systems to a grinding halt. I remember PC dudes picking up their freshly burnt copies of ps1 games who believed he had some built for piracy custom rig..I remember him refusing to upgrade to 3.9 because he just could not get the stability he had with 3.1.
