Hey, no strong words, dear duke of 'azard! You're in church here!

Sound like japanese. How can you rely on a japanese OS if they cannot 
even build nuclear power plants that survive a tsunami followed by an 
earth quake?

Dear Mr Cowboy,

Oberon is a piece of ART. It is CULTURE. Something people from the New 
World apparently neither seem to understand nor appreciate. Period.

But, as usual, you make a point.

Oberon as an OS is not of these times. But, if you want to know ABOUT an 
OS, then it is superb. An OS that can be understood and maintained by a 
single person. Or when you want to read and understand "Compiler 
Construction"....
