Sorry, I know it's off-topic *and* it's dead, but it's not all *that*
off-topic.
As I said, I rather liked AmigaDOS; it's connection with Unix is that it
was based on the BCPL language, which was a sibling of the C language on
which Unix was based, both being decendents of B.

Multics was a joint project (fundede by ARPA) for a "computer
utility"; roughly speaking MIT produced the OS, Bell Labs the
compilers and GE the hardware.
But it was GE and

Oh yes, I remember the Toaster -- and it may surprise you to hear that

Not in the early 60s it wa
I take it you remember the Video Toaster then,
it was built for the Amiga OS, which I wonder,
did Amiga OS have protected memory like
Linux/Unix?

Oh yes -- AmigaDOS was very stable and the multimedia on the Amiga
kicked serious ass
The Amiga brought multimedia to the desktop - everyone else, including

I remember when Caterpillar got their first main-frame in the early
60's. I don't remember if it was fed *key punch* cards or not, but a
friend programed it to play chess. I have no idea about the OS.. maybe
some form of UNIX. I guess I'm masochistic. I'd still like to play chess
with Big Blue one
Could the AmigaDos have as many characters
in the filename like linux?
Could you have sound and stability like unix?

Sorry folks, but Multics was the perfect OS. All others are
imitations.
