It has been pointed out that the FM Towns isn't multi-tasking.  I wasn't
sure.  I saw an some stuff that lead my believe it was, but I was most
likely fooled.  Sorry about the mis-information.

However, there are several multi-tasking solutions for 80386 machines,
and the 80386 hardware is more suited for mult-tasking than plain 68000.
Multi-taking is most likely going to be standard on every machine in a 
few years so I don't see too much problem in this area.  I still think
the FM Towns is very impressive.
