That's a really loaded statement. I don't know if I agree or not. I've known

I liked the OS in the C64. The DOS slowness was a pain (but fixable). But
the Kernal was kind of nice.

Which side is more intelligent now? I've used both PC's and Amiga and prefer
the Amiga (of course I still use my //e and my C64 :-) ) and I think I'm
fairly intelligent.
