Consider that it hasn't had any more developing for 2 years, due to the 
death of Commodore.

Your Psion pocket computer sucks.

On Amiga you have 64. But it's quite good to be able to view the filename 
on an 80 column monitor, without it eating up several lines.

: Who's got the most boring look of all GUI (B&W, mostly 2D)!

Yup. I vote for the Amiga's Workbench with Magic User Interface and Magic 
Workbench built in.

: >Amiga, MS Win95 Plug 'n Play (no need for configuration of add-ons)

: Ok.

: >Amiga, Mac built in mouse control

My Amiga mouse has 3 buttons. Very nice to have in the filrequester.

: >Amiga built in joystick control (gotta have those games)

: I don't know the Amiga, I hope it has an analog joystick. otherwise...

Digital and Analog.
