The (rerun) show was about CDOS, OS/2 and A/UX, and not about general
multitasking.

I think that Computer Chronicles does a pretty reasonable job in covering
most subjects.  It's certainly a hell of a lot better than Victoria and The
Computer Show.  I actually manage to learn some stuff from this program.
Several weeks back, CC reran its Amiga 2000 show, completely devoted to the
Amiga and current software.  I think this is pretty good exposure.

Not to mention that Paul Schindler stands in front of an A1000 every week
for his Software Review.
