First, note that I've edited the Newsgroup line to restrict this
to comp.sys.amiga, not wishing to add fuel to still smouldering fires.


But ...

It seems like this is an opportunity for CBM to do some education through
their (still mythical) advertising campaign.  You know ... show the
customer what *real* multitasking is and can do for them.

Maybe hang out a banner proclaiming "Third generation multitasking", or
some such.

Of course the way things seem to be going these days, it may well be that
Apple will claim that "multitasking" is a Trademark or Copyright of
theirs ... 1/2 :-) !

This concept is hereby released to Public Domain.

P.S.  Anybody (CATS, etc.) know when this advertising blitz is supposed
      to begin?
