Sorry, multitasking is what I meant...and if ya gotta reboot, it ain't.
I'm going to kill myself later today for making that mistake, and I'll
just hate myself in the morning. That should make up for it.

As for the rest of my nebulous ramblings that you responded to with your
hard, cold facts....you are right. I was wrong to question the great Amiga
Gods and their seeming ability to produce more hardware in three years
than IBM.

All I'm saying is this: Why don't they produce an AMIGA that will do
what people want and expect and were promised from the beginning? Then,
take the money that will pour in and develop the next generation. It
seems as though each new piece of iron is to fix the problems of the
last piece. With software I can appreciate the idea of updates, with
costly hardware, I cannot. Especially and possibly limited to: MY $$$$ ;-)

Give me that Amiga I so desire the first time, then in 5 years give me
enough new possibilities to make the new generation of iron worth the cost.
