DOS? Not a brilliant CLI but in many ways quite an elegant hybrid of
Unix, CP/M
Sure, it was expensive, but really, the point was that the OS was
pretty much unusable without a hard disk. I know, I used it. It worked
but it wasn't pleasant. So the cheap price of the Amiga was illusory:
to get it to shine, you needed to spend a lot more than the basic
system price.

No, a PC couldn't, not in any PC operating system available in the '80s.

No, Desqview was a pure round-robin timeslicer.

OK I'll type slower for you. You can install programs that will give the

You can't, because the API that would have allowed you to usefully
take advantage of VM got screwed up by early application developers
who didn't use it, so it was never turned into a real VM system.
Just checked a 6.0.7 system and MS Word 5.0 runs under it just fine. Is
there a big difference between 5.0 and 5.1 that would account for this?
Since you are running a Classic II, you obviously installed 6.0.8L as it is
the only version of 6 that will run on a Classic II. I wonder if Word 5 has

Hey folks...
In hopes of putting this subject to rest, I run Word 5.1 under System 6.0.8
on my Macintosh IIsi. Has worked great as long as I can remember. I use it
all the time.
There is no reason why it wouldn't run on a Classic II under System 6 as far
as I know. I use it on *my* Classic II

I beg to differ, the end result is much the same and you have explained
