Wow! Win95 and OS/2 are so precious with their memory protection. Do you run 
one of those? I seen them both and I'm not impressed. They are as unstable as 
AmigaOS (or as stable as, depends on if you're a optimist or a pessimist).

What is confusing about the two mousebuttons? Maybe, PC and Mac users are not 
able to use more than one, seems to be too difficult for them. I prefer the 
left for selecting and the right for menus. BTW, I DON'T have to click on the 
menu line to select it, I press the right mouse button, the menu appears on 
the screen top and I could select it easy by moving the pointer on it. 
Additionaly I've installed a tool named MagicMenu which provides PopUp menus.

The OS is able to run without the custom chips with a few changes. I think, 
you should take a look on MacroSystems Draco.

Software support is increasing.

It's named AmigaOS, Operating System. Compared to DOS/Windows and Win95 it 
is one, that really matches the name.
