Not really Amiga or -related, but I thought it's worth mentioning:

WAY ahead. I remember reading about this in a dutch Amiga magazine and I totally wanted one. Too bad I didn't have any money at all back then :-(

Different strokes for different folks.

MacOSX for preschoolers in comparison to BeOS.

I hate it, as it really restricts me.

Well, first it was to be Mac OS 10, then that fell through so it was supposed to be Amiga OS 4, then that fell though so it became dead :-)

Checkout www.haiku-os.org for the OSS clone.
