Hi,

I've heard Amiga's multitasking defined in so many ways it makes my
head spin.  Now, I have a general idea of how things work, but could
someone with a good grasp on the topic please explain to me exactly
how Amiga's multitasking works, and why it can be given the honored
term 'true multitasking' ?  

Also on this  subject, where can I find a good source about the inner
workings of the Amiga?  Not one of these annoying 'this is your disk
drive' books, but a real good source.
