Cost/Performancewise – the Amiga OS is great. I have no problems there. Alas it
doesn't seem to get much better as time goes along (except for crash
prevention). But I can live with that too.
Unfortuneately, there are as many notions as to how God intended computers to
behave as there are notions of Gods themselves. My only special beef with the
Amiga is that there seem to be more of those " can't get there from here "
problems than with other computers I have dealt with.
By the way, I HAVE lived – according to your definition. Writing interrupt
driven code on IBMs, where one is sure to have it executed many times before
the first call is finished is indeed a pain in the posterior. I often see
people complain of code that is not re-entrant, but I have never personally
seen a good article or book that addresses just what sort of code works best
for these situations, and what pitfalls lie waiting.
