#Uk Amiga Press Conf!
Fred,
Every now and then the Amiga's multitasking power is really impressed on me.
Yesterday I was playing with Windows 95 on a 486-66 –decent computer, if not
top of the line–and if I ran more than one program, I spent a lot of time
waiting for screen refreshes.
This morning, with my A2000 (030), with less than 3 megs to spare after I
loaded my rad drive (long story), I had running: Superbase Pro, Phasar
(finances), WordPerfect Library, GPFax and Transcript. I closed down Phasar
(while SBPro was loading) because I figured I'd pushed the limits a little, but
otherwise I was using all of them, switching from screen to screen
instantaneously, and leaving SBPro to sort a filter while I went to Transcript
to write a letter.
But if I tried to explain it to a "Win guy", they simply wouldn't believe it…
