I like GEM. I _need_ MultiGEM. GEM does almost anything the MacOS will do
for you. MultiGEM will do almost anything a Mac with MultiFinder does for
you. So how can you tell us nobody wants a multitasking TOS?

It's not brain dead. It works. It's quite fast, if you compare it with Windows.
It's easy to program. And I like it. Please don't think ATARI must be
a bunch of fools just because they don't follow your way of thinking.
