What? You mean that if I want to play his game that my amiga has to stop
being a remote disk mount for my unix machine? You mean that if I
want to play his game my startup environment which takes about 10
minutes to set up (vd0: based, lots in there) has to be discarded?
You mean that I have to kick off someone who might be using a CLI 
environment on the serial port?

THE AMIGA IS NOT A 64. STOP TREATING IT LIKE ONE.

As for all the "Interlaced" problems: Open a screen in interlace mode
and play with that. You don't need to modify workbench.

Keep the rules in. Some of us not only care, but are upset at
software developers who feel that we
	A) Never will want to run from a hard disk (A non-dos boot disk?)
	B) ONLY have 1/2 or 1 meg of memory (Facc can hold an entire 
		disk in that second meg)
	C) Wouldn't possibly want to have something else running when
		their game busy-waits for a mouse click.
