The phrase 'THE AUTHOR OF AMIGADOS' is perhaps a bit strong.  However, in
essence this is true.

On the other hand, (and, much as I love my ST, and much as I worry about
starting another round of flame wars), AmigaDOS is OK, really.  (Personally,
I prefer GEM/TOS, but that's a totally subjective judgement.)

And, to the people who've been offering to explain multi-tasking to me,
GO AWAY!  I've been using it since probably well before most of you had cut
your second pair of teeth.  I'm *still* not convinced it's a good idea in
an environment where the tasks are not protected from each other.

Thanks.
