1   Ram Disk:  and  RAD:
2   Small, extensible, near real-time, multitasking OS
3   The integration of the whole OS and it's very logical organization

I'm probably being thick.  What's a SSD?

OH!

That's clever.

I wish I could send a note back to myself in 1989 and alter the path I tokk upgrading my A500.  I was years without a HDD.  Getting 4 to 8 Megs of fastram early-on would have allowed a virtual HDD (RAD:) and a much improved experience.

Yep, I left some out.

No user, resource, icon, application, history (registry or desktop file) tracking super file required!  If it doesn't exist, it can't be corrupted or used as a tool to spy on the user.

Also, no swap file required.  I view this as a great advantage, but it appears not everyone agrees.
