Well folks, Popular Science Jan 1989 issue just discovered multitasking in
personal computers, courtesy of 'Multifinder'! Of course, they don't seem
to know that Amiga has done it for 3.5 years plus, and seem to think that
beyond Mac only 'mainframes' can do it. To use mf, you need a minimum of 1
meg, Apple reccomends 2 meg, and the author suggests more is often needed.
I just can't figure out how I worked on my old 1000 with 512k! Somehow, I
suspect Amiga is still years ahead of Multifinder!
Don't worry.. they'll forget and in a few months print something about OS/2
and multitasking too (if they haven't already). Just got a big kick out of
Bill Gates too.. quoted as saying "real multitasking can't be done in less
than 4 megabytes". The whole world is PC/Apple crazy <sigh>.
