OK, why would I want to build a system that runs AOS with a 68K processor without the Amiga chipset?


Why would anyone at this point?  Who would spend good money on such a thing?

Haggis is great.

...though I've only had the vegetarian version.

vegetarion Haggis... no such thing tone007, you've been conned, probably some chinese import you were sold made of plastic and old bits of pirated DVDs... :)


I realize this.  My wife is a vegetarian and loves to cook, though, and found a recipe for it.

She almost ordered me some real haggis from Scotland, but the shipping cost was ridiculous.

Properly prepared, I'd eat human.

In fact, until Microsoft implented the NT kernal, multitasking was an uncontrolled, you might lock it up nightmare.


Hey, that sounds just like Amiga (including OS4.1!)

Luckily the NT kernal has been in use since the 90s.

As I've said before, people only think kindly of the PC because it sucks a lot less than it used to.


Maybe I was just lucky, but I went from DOS to Win3.1 to 95 to 98 (even a brief stint with ME) to 2000 to XP to Vista to 7, and I was always able to get what I needed to done without much trouble at all.

I like to think of it more as skill than luck, though.
