- I use IBM, and clones at work. IBM's do not true multitask...and Windows is
- a joke. I would like a dime for everytime I tried to multitask at work and had
- the system lock. Windows is software to make hardware do what it can't in the
- first place. I have many productivity programs for my Amiga (even though the
- IBM guys say that it's just a gaming machine w/ no real useful software), which
- are more user friendly, and flexibiblty is a must. Unfortunatly, IBM does have
- much more software support, but big blue was doing poorly stockwise. Maybe
- there is hope for C= Amiga yet. The 4000 my be the answer. Time will tell.
