- Speaking of this, OS/2 doesn't allow you to have the benefits of the full
- screen with having a GUI as well, sure, you can open up a window (sometimes)
- but there are text only apps that require you to use full screen. I know on
- 1.3 Communications Manager required you to use full screen.

- With the Amiga, you can pull down a "full screen" halfway and still use your
- Workbench and full screen at the same time. This is called flexability.
