Hey Colin,

Small comment - it's funny you refer to Windows 95.. Way back in 1988, I
used to use a little application called DESQView (for DOS 3.31), on my
386-20 (4mb ram!) for multitasking. I ran a bulletin board system in the
background while doing programming/word processing in a separate window,
and any DOS maintenance in another window. It was quite handy! It may
not have been 'true' multitasking, but from the users' perspective it
certainly was.

And I believe the Amiga had true multitasking as part of the OS from the
beginning no?

oh the glory days.. :)
