I crash HPUX systems more often than I crash my Amiga, and I use both
dayly, so calling Amiga OS crash-happy is a joke.

He is saying that the Amiga get his work done where Winslows and OS\2 fails
to do so. So the Amiga is better in his case.

0. So with the number of people using Amiga OS, not (a) and not (b)
doesn't prevent you from using the Amiga. Hint: It is nowhere near as
bad as you try to make it sound.
