future software support

If you are going to keep your Amiga 1200 you dont have to worry about.

I mean, BPPC and even so much praised CSPPC is very very slow for modern software (Battle for Wesnoth, OWB, MPlayer and many more) and on the other hand 68k community is still so strong there will be new software next ten years.

It wasn´t about blamin MorphOS for Apples crap. But Macs fail often enough to give MorphOS users second thoughts about them. Refuting the argument that PPC Amigas were likely to fail before there was even more AmigaOS 4 software - which is of course a bogus claim by itself.

I had three different Amiga 1200 in eight years. Two of them failed for no apparent reason. Myabe just bad luck but then Commodore was not best known for QA.

It's still a bug, it's just that you'd never have known it was there unless as a side effect of reading an unexpected value from that bogus location the application does something weird. Whether or not it is harmless depends on what the consequences of that read are. However, in OS4 such accesses in tend to cause DSI, unless the memory being accessed is explicitly public.

In both case result is the same, though.

That's true only if you decide to allow the program to continue. On getting a DSI, you might decide instead to generate a crashlog, terminate the process and hound the author for a fix

Only if terminating the process was safe operation ;-)
