Too right.   I think all things considered, AmigaDOS was (and still is) my 
favourite OS.   Never liked Workbench that much but I got quite into the CLI 
at Uni.   It certainly helped me with learning UNIX (Solaris) at the time.

nothing.   A bit OT for this list but as it's Sunday night - does anyone 
know what the current state of play with the Amiga is?

Me too - but like other emulators - getting your fave stuff (pics in my 
case - I was into raytracing) is a bit fiddly.
