One look at the dashboard in a Volkswagen put me off Porsche for life. :-)

Please rephrase this. for instance,
How about multi-tasking on an ST ?? Go for it.
Alright, I know that TOS and GEM aren't inherently multitasking, but there are

TOS programs on a multi-tasking basis. Any inadequacy in the ST design (whether
in hardware or software) can be remedied.
