When I first got into the Amiga I was doing alot of Neural Net stuff, so I learned quick that multiprocessors might be critical. I began working with Inmos transputers and parallel processing slaved to the Amiga (or PC). In that environment there is a Unic clone for parallel processors called Helios. I went to a training session where everybody mentioned what machine they were on. I was last, and of course, the only Amiga guy. The guy teaching the workshop laughed and said "Great machine. I wrote the EXEC for the Amiga nad we used alot of the ideas in buiding Helios for parallel processing" !!! So, AmigaDOS ought to be much more suitable by nature than the Mac or DOS (not withstanding the obvious hardware differences).
