Christopher,
He's NOT being silly. An AMiga without an MMU cannot ever hope to run a
general VM capability. It also has no hope of running individual processes
protected from each other so that the crash of one program doesn't bring
down ALL the programs running in the system.
At this point in time, the production of Amiga platforms without MMU
capability can be taken as indicating either NO such capabilities are
planned for the future, or, that those capabilities will not be
available for those machines without the required hardware (which is
an MMU).
Either way, he's not being silly – he's *exactly* on the mark.
