	The applications I used used the OS or I did not buy them.
It was the best multi-tasking OS aside from Unix at the time of its 
creation. Amigas could use Unix as well at least the A2000,
the A3000, and A4000 but mostly the higher end were used as
places to run the Video Toaster hardward on. Sometimes they
were rebadged as Macs or simply as Video Toasters. I guess
no one is still using them but not so many years ago when
a problem happened the old Amiga reboot symbol would show
up on our analog TV broadcasts, sometimes on cable channels.
They were used by the way in another hobby by anime enthusiasts
to subtitle on VHS the Japanese cartoons.
