Well put. And having a well-written multi-tasking executive provides the Amiga with _great_ potential. Programs (aside from games) have been written from the beggining on the Amiga with multi-tasking in mind, using the (argueably) well-designed OS interface (ie. libraries, devices, etc) which makes C='s job all that much easier to move us along to new technology. Imagine the poor folks – now 'realizing' that Multi-tasking is a 'good thing' desperately scrambling to get any kind of functional (read: useable) 'hack' tacked on top of MS-DOS. "What? I can't bang the hardware directly?" Keith
