- Well, there is a thing we often forget. The Workbench program is not
- much multitasking internally. So if you copy a file or drawer with it,
- you won't be able to do anything else with the Workbench program. But,
- if you have Directory Opus loaded or a shell or anything else, it will
- be available and working while the Workbench do its work.
-
- The Workbench program is the oldest remaining part of the original
- Amiga OS, it needs a lot of work. I kept telling that to the
- Commodore's developers before they went under but I was answered that
- the workbench rewrite was very low in Commodore's priority.
