Ok discopy protection I can understand but multi-tasking.. I fail to see how 
my poor old 68000 could keep up with a fastmoving game of Shadow of the Beast,
downloading from the local BBS, and editing my latest school essay!!  Not
to mention the fact that *I* would have some trouble keeping up with that!

Fair deal people!  If you cant handle the time for a game to load, do you 
*really* have time to play the game at all?  Sure some games are nice on the
HD, Pirates is a good example, well not really because it *is* hd-installable,
but if it werent that would be a hassle... but then the fact that it is and
the fact that it does not take over the system indicates that *some* programmers
do think about these things..
