(Without including the previous messages here....briefly this
 was a discussion of the Amiga's OS being on a kickstart disk
 instead of ROM.  Someone thought they were taking the cheap
 way out, the other person seemed to think it was good for
 OS updates.  (I don't really know why this was on info-atari,
 but I am interested in both machines and will reply anyway))


There is another reason for the Kickstart disk approach.  In the
latest Compute! (wait a bit for it, if you don't have a subscription)
they mention that Commodore has made the Amiga IBM compatible COMPLETELY
IN SOFTWARE!  Try doing THAT with a burned-in OS!
