> None of the Amiga games/demos used the OS for anything
Loads of shitty bloated American games did (lounge suit larry or whatever the fuck it was called, monkey island etc etc), but none of the fast, European arcade/console-style games did.
There were many great apps for the Amiga's OS's from V1 up to V3.0 (the last time I used my Amiga reguarly). From Cygnus Ed one of the best text editors of all time I'd love to replicate on my PC, More a simple but effective text reader that scrolled so smoothly, to lots of video, paint, 3D rendering applications and more you could run at the same time. Plus the Mac emulator that ran faster than the Mac it emulated. The ability to dual boot by holiding down the mouse buttons on boot, FAST booting from the hard drive and near instantious booting from RAD (recoverable RAM drive). All the public domain apps and hacks and extentions sigh.. I miss the Amiga, more than the Mac's and PC's I have used. What Commodore mismanaged was such a shame.
Yep I'm an aussie with IInet and they are a good ISP. I've been with them since dial up days about 12 years and they always choose the smart option. They are fighting the movie thing, the internet filtering thing, have included itunes downloads and watching ABC on replay via the net in their quota (which most Australian ISP's do not), jump started the ADSL 2+ push and have announced IPTV just recently. And have given every iinet user a download limit bump for free at least once so you get more than what you were paying for - its all I think a good ISP should do.

No they won't have V1.4 on them as the HDMI standards committee have made it very clear they will pull any cable packaging doing this.
Um Australia had a lot to do with penicillin's use in fact. http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/australia_innovates/?behaviour=view_article&Section_id=1030&article_id=10033 Try again please. Yes I'm Australian - helping you lot defend the world pretty well unnoticed. Even from yourselves.
