Correct this statement if it's wrong:

AOS is the ONLY OS that can restart running in RAD: independent of ANY external devices.*


* Devices being: floppy disk, hard disk CD, DVD, CF card, swap files, etc. etc.

You're so wrong about that - and everything else computer related you've ever posted - that it hurts to read.

Any expert system that couldn't keep itself from overwriting its own memory would be effectively worthless.  Every thought would essentially be a tapeworm, destroying data as it was created.

You hate MP because Amiga OS doesn't have it, and in your mind if AOS doesn't have it, it is at best unneeded or "bad", see your views on multi-user environments.   :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

Hi B00tDisk,

And yet my Amiga 2000 using AOS1.3.3 runs?

Please explain, using all your powers of comprehension and computer knowledge, how AOS 1.3 is in fact an AI or expert system.

And yes, why chastise me for being selfish and wanting a ONE USER computer/OS? PC is for Personal Computer not Politically Correct, and sharing my toy with all comers.

Psh.  You don't even understand what multiuser is about.

Multi vs. single user OS has very little to do with memory protection. It's about preventing a crashed application from bringing the whole system down, or to offer some form of protection against hacks, spyware or whatever.

Let us now patiently await Atheist's scathing reply that the Amiga has no such problems and blah blah blah blah because it's so awesome (ie, such a hyper-obscure platform that nobody can be even be bothered with pranking it).  

Like someone said, it seems like you don't like memory protection just because AOS lacks this functionality.

yep.
