Unfourtunatly I am forced to work on messydos clones at work, what a pain! I brought my A1000 into work to show off some neat stuff (mostly DNET to start of with). A couple of people have expressed amazement that a 512k computer can run all of those different windows, + a dos window and an editor besides! I have been trying to convince people around here of the merits of a multitasking pc-type machine. Most are deaf and blind, even when they work with UNIX all the time, it sure is hard to convice people that their life would be easier with an Amiga than with the latest PC clone.
