	While I do not want to get into a discussion of the wonderfulness
of Unix, I would like to point out that it is a great joy to be able to use
the same set of commands on EVERY machine I use.  For this reason, although
I think the amiga is a wonderful machine, I won't purchase one without Unix
on it.  

	I would think that the way to do this would be to put Unix on the
machine as the base operating system and write an Amigados emulator that 
dropped on top (as a shell).  CLI could also be a shell.  Graphics, 
multitasking and sound are wonderful but without Unix, it's just another
computer.
