Last I heard that expression went out with AmyDOS 1.2; 1.3 fixed a lot
of the problems and now programs like Gomf can intercept the odd stray
guru and prevent the system from going down in flames due to a stray
hiccup. AmyDOS 2.0 removes the guru completely (thank God)...like it
really matters now that Commodore's decided Unix V.4 and Open Look is
the way to go with their top-end machines.
 
Intuition is still kinda kludgey as GUI's go, though...I'd almost rather
deal with (dare I really say this?) Windows for ease of use. 'Course,
Intuition is a /lot/ smaller...like about 1/20th as big...
