If multitasking isn't so necessary or desirable for MS-DOS machines, why
do I and lots of other Novell Network Administrators run from networked
computer to networked computer all over the office running different programs?
I don't want to spend 30 minutes waiting for 10,000 mailing labels to sort
so that I can wait another 30 minutes backing up my hard drive while wanting
to word process a document while those are busy.  It's insane to run all over
the office using different terminals for different things, but I do it anyway
so that I can get home at a reasonable hour.  Don't tell me you can blow it
off.  When I use my amiga 500 at home, I could do all that and more while
kicking back and drinking a coke etc.  I LIKE IT THAT WAY!!!!
