I know the title is deceiving, but following the line of the previous
poster, I but the Amiga precisely for the multitasking.  I did not wish
to program in the Apple/MAC environment, I already program in the MS-DOS
at school.  I am finding that after I am getting past the complexity of
an operating system that must become part of your program if you want it
to be Amigatized, I REALLY LIKE THE AMIGA!!  I also like Turbo-Pascal 4.0
Too bad it's on MS-DOS.

BTW, I am trying to get information about the Sun 386i.  Is there a group
on Usenet for the Sun's?  I seem to note that many Amigans use Sun's at
work.  Specs and reviews are relatively easy to find, but problems and 
pluses are not found until one really works with a machine day-in and
day-out. Please e-mail any comments to me (+-) [no this isn't one of Bob's
smiley faces]
