This past weeks' Computer Chronicles show was all about 
*MULTI-TASKING*, a new and different concept created with
the advent of Unix and now proudly incorporated into IBM
and Apple products.

There were displays of most all the upcoming platforms 
that we have heard of from Big Blue and Apple. There was
*zero* mention of the Amiga, which does a better job than
all the others (from what I can tell).

How can the Amiga be skipped in this ?? Was CBM sleeping
at the switch again ?? Three years after the Amiga made
it's appearance and it still isn't noticed. Is something
wrong going on ?? I haven't seen or heard of the Amiga
outside of user groups for ages, maybe years...

I guess that it just doesn't exist any more, or any less.

Maybe this time next year Apple and IBM will introduce
yet another new concept, Genlocked video !! We'll see..
