It's always nice to see Microsoft implement one or two of the many features that made the Amiga great 30 years ago.

When laws allow unlimited ownership of ideas, it is to a society as iron fusion is to the core of a star.

When verified realities lead us to anger, we must learn to reevaluate our beliefs.

Hows its ability not to lose data when you have a hard reset/crash?

Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

#1 - I screwed up by forgetting the link. You will find more information there, about halfway down the page or so IIRC. Oh yeah, I added the link to the bottom of the article. Not sure where my head is today.

#2 - That was some really bad writing on my part. Sorry about that. Next time you see some confusing crap like that, feel free to contact me and let me know. Now I have to go back and re-read to make sure I clear it up with accurate information. Unless Andre or Jamie wrote it, in which case you should harass them instead ;)

Nah, their cages are very secure and once they're worn out the screams don't carry from the basement to my office.
