	>>>I agree wholeheartedly, as far as Workbench 1.3 is concerned.
Unfortunately, this is the last version I ever had as my A500 became
obsolete.
Does anyone know the latest version of AmigaDOS (even if it isn't
available
any more) and it it's any good.  I would bet that it would be, if it isn't
for
the lack of memory protection, from what I've heard...<<<

Well, the new version is WB / ADos 3.1, and it is still available. It
comes as a chip / software combo. Yes, one BIG disadvantage of the Amiga
(but also, perhaps how its RAm requirement for the OS is so small) is
because some of the basics of the OS are in the ROM chip. It has a form of
memory protection, but it fails if a program really goes kerflump.

As for another Dream OS ingredient, how about built in basic
telecommunications support? Or do modern OS's have that too? 

Ermm... how about.... sigh. it's late. sorry. Perhaps just UNIX with the
Amiga's GUI. That would be pretty darn sweet. Or NextStep with the Amiga's
GUI. Perhaps NeXTStep with the GUI from Win95 (pheth. spat that one out!
that's bitter tasting)
