Hobby my lilly white arse. Ever watch Babylon 5? that was ALL Amiga running a Video Toaster. Wintel/Mac didn’t catch up for nearly years. And at 20 times the cost.

Amiga was Unix with a GUI over it.

All things aside, read up on the Amiga. It is a fascinating story of tech way ahead of the market.

No, Lilly, I didn’t mean Amiga was a hobby OS.

One OS I wish would make a breakthrough is ReactOS

If they could get it to work the way they wanted it would be an open source version of Windows 95 or XP.
