	Maybe you should have looked those big numbers up.

	I got tired of the problems but loved the AmigaOS and went with it
from 1.3 to 3.9. Amiga 1000 to Amiga 2000b But AmigaOS had no memory
protection due to the costs of including chips to manage the memory.
So when CBM went down the tubes I moved to GNU/ Linux and am narly
as happy with it as I was with AmigaOS.  I am older now and find memory
protection a very valuable matter. I even used XP in the transition from
Amiga to the Mandriva Linux 2006.  But the AmigaOS was a real operating
system and I learned a lot from using it much more than I learned from
the Commodore 64 or the 64/128 on which I used native mode, CP/M and
GEOS.  I still have all the bookmarks I gathered on the Amiga and some
few of them are still active.
