The simple fact that it has an OS that you can run & operate in 2MB of ram and still allow you to do almost anything on it... :)

Why one earth does this iMac I use need over 200,000 files just to have an OS on it and even with 2.5GB of RAM it still has to use the HD as virtual RAM... :(

That's what I don't get about todays OS's and so called umpteen GHZ processors what kind of rubbish are they that need all that RAM and thousands of files just to boot up in the first place ???... :(

Myself I reckon it's down to the folk who write or wrote these OS systems not having any talent to be able to actually code something as efficient as Kickstart & Workbench... :)

Reckon they should have looked at the Amiga first before writing such bloated rubbish and then maybe one day they'll have a system that is worthy of my attention... :)

Until then I'll live quite happily with me old antiquated but truly efficient Amigas... :)
