- I run no less than 10 commdities on my A2000 (bog standard 68000 CPU,
- 1M chip + 2M fast), and I've never noticed any speed problems at all. I've
- always suspected that this commodities-slow-down-the-machine thing is a
- myth.

- (The 10 commodities? AutoPoint, Blanker, CentreScreen, ClickToFront,
- CrossDOS, Exchange, IHelp, PSX, ToolManager, VirusChecker. No problems :-)
