  11. I sent this to the Oracle (oracle@cs.indiana.edu):
  12.  
  13. > Do you think Amiga has better multitasking than an ordinary PC?
  14.  
  15. And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
  16.  
  17. } Hell no! The Amiga is a dead computer with no software support, and it
  18. } couldn't multitask itself out of a wet paper bag without becoming unbearably
  19. } slow!
  20. } 
  21. } Now on my Pentium running Windows, I can print something at the same time
  22. } as, say, I'm running QModem. Try that with your Amiga!
  23. } 
  24. } In fact, I'm at this very moment printing a list of cool web sites with
  25. } erotic gifs. 256 colors, try that with your amiga.
  26. } 
  27. } Ah, finished. Time to print something else. CTL-ALT-DELETE to change
  28. } tasks. Seeya.
  29.  
  30. I expected some rubbish in the answer, and it is in some way. But I thought it
  31. was some kind of program that generates the answer.
