I can go out and get an Amiga, with stereo sound, the only platform on the market that can actually MULTITASK peacefully, Sigh. Amiga Snobs Strike Again. I convinced my mother to dump her CoCo for an Amiga. She's got an A500, and an A3000/25-50 on the Power Up program; she would have bought the A3000 instead of the A500 if the Power Up program had been available. Not a complaint about it from her, though. On the other hand, every time she reads an Amiga magazine and some ignoramous says "the Amiga has the first/only/best Multitasking in a home platform" she mentions it to me. Seems she's been running preemptive multitasking with a dynamic priority system since before the first Amiga was powered on (I convinced her to buy that one as well, and she never regretted it). On a machine that costs less than an A500, at that.
