- I've seen a LOT of useful applications running on essentially OS-less machines
- (from Sinclair ZX-Spectrum to MS-DOS). It's just that those programs weren't
- usually as good as on the Amiga, and had to implement most of the "OS"
- themselves. And usability was lost altogether in the c00l c0ding process.

- Some of those also had some kind of preemptive-multitasking hacks as well, BTW.
