OK, guys.  I've been following the group for a while since I've been thinking
of getting a 500 or 2000.  Just exactly what does the Amiga's true multitasking
let me do (other than formatting disks) that I can't do on my Mac?

(Please route Mac flames to dev/null.  I'm interested in adding an Amiga to my
computing resources, not replacing my Mac.)
