Responding to the following:

"Ever heard of confusion? I find this to be a silly idea. Multiusers

Then you don't know anything about collaborative computing (oh, sorry, you're
an Amiga user. Never mind). Ever heard of the "virtual napkin"? Collaborative
computing is VERY useful for communication on more advanced subjects, 
remotely. For example, in a CAD program, you and a friend could go over the
basic structure of whatever it is you're designing instead of having to put
more advanced concepts into words alone.
