- ahahahhah! Unix users have been multi-tasking with no troubles at
- all, just using DUMB TERMINALS. You can always use multiple-screen
- interfaces (eg. "miwm" for MiNT, which even though it is a quick-hack,
- is still excellent; or for those keen - just port Unix "screens").
-
- Multiple windows is not a pre-requisit for multip-tasking... though I
- imagine BigScreens will appear for the Falcon even faster than they did
- for the ST...
-
- But are you really going to plug a $1500 monitor into your $1000 computer :-)?
