Why is an Amiga crash called a Guru?
Because....

| Guru Meditation #0000000A.06572445 |

<Best Viewed in Topaz/Topaz New>
Of course after Kickstart 1.3 the programmers lost their sense of humour:

| Software Failure. Press Left mouse button to continue. |
| Error: 0000000A Task: 06572445 |

But the name 'guru' stuck...

a
Amiga Workbench/DOS/Kickstart - The way operating systems should all be
done...
I think that the Amiga`s owners should sell a PC version of the Amiga`s
OS...
512K ROM stuff
720K Floppy with system software
1232K, thats 1.2meg!
and it runs in 1MB RAM!
obv the ROM bits would have to be HDD based rather than ROM based.
It doesn`t try to do anything for you, yet it is surprisingly easy to
use...
It doesn`t take over your HDD, yet it manages to do almost everything
Windows does...
WORKBENCH FOR PC!!!!!
(Hmm - I got a bit carried away I think, slightly off topic :) )
