Have no fear.

As always, you will have the best of all worlds, each in a screen
of its own.  I think it's safe to say that X will never be a required
part of your Happy Amiga Setup.  If I'm wrong, it would mean that
the future has more wonderous potential than I can imagine, either
in the price of storage or the quality of compiler shrinking
X.


X fits in nicely, running in an Intuition screen.  A fine X terminal, and
if you drag it from the top, there's a computer running back there.
