   COME OFF IT BRAD and wake up to the real world! I agree "Not everyone" but
   then why is MS-Windozse for PeeCees such a hit, huh? Why is MSFT so big on
   Windows and Windoze NT? Back to multitasking- and a PEECEE CAN? Or are you
   an Amiga Zealot here to preach Commodore's wonderful niche computer?

You seem to be under the sad impression that PC's only run MSDOS and
Windows.  Why don't *you* wake up to the real world.  Try OS/2.  Even try
UNIX.  No Mac with Sys 7 can multitask comparatively to either of those
(while the same, of course, is not tru of a Mac with A/UX).
