Absolutely not, because I have ZERO interest in AmigaOS (apart from using it on my A1200, because there's no good alternative).

I don't get it. What's so great about AmigaOS? Amigas are certainly the best retro computers, hands down, and they're just awesome, but the OS? I just don't see what's so great about it.

It's different. That's my main attraction anyway. It's very fun too.
That's certainly a good point.

That's really not the point.
It is for me. Why? Because 68k can do much better than AOS, and it can do it faster too. Instead of making something better (hahaha lololol)  they sell us software that's over 20 years old.
