In response to 5MHz being too slow to multitask....

Yeah, sounds like an OK assertion to me...of course most people who actually
_USE_ their GS have gotten at least some sort of accelerator by now, and GS/OS
is supposed (I'm not real up on it personally) to be kinda quick.  I have a
Sun 2/120 (68010@10Mhz) that's kinda slow, but multitasking is sooo nice it
sorta makes up for it.  It's kinda nice DL'ing in the background, or working
on something while others are logged on the system (I have it setup for 
remote login's, and I'll have a LAN if I could just get this damn ethernet
to work).....all for about 1/5th what I paid for my IIgs...
