     I very much agree that memory protection would be helpful.  I believe
  this lack is the main thing wrong with the Amiga. 

     ex.
  
     Q: Does the Amiga Multitask?
 
     A: Yes...  But, if you use up CHIP memory or one program barfs, your
        WHOLE house of cards falls down.

     Of course, the Amiga has so much else going for it that I won't complain
  TOO much. BUT, I consider the idea that we don't want memory protection to
  be a DANGEROUS RUMOR!!!  ( One forty billionth smiley)
