I agree with this statement 100%. One of the most imoportant strengths of the
Amiga OS is the fact that it can multitask. I can understand why high speed
games would want to hog the CPU, however, I thing that they should at least GIVE
YOU THE OPTION of running something in the background. If you run something
on not, that is your business, however, the software should always have the 
option. 
I will not buy software that doesn't multitask eiter. I used to not care,
however as soon as I got more than 512K of memory and found out what multi-
tasking is all about,  I quickly changed my mind.
