Out of interest, why was the answer to the "Only

Amiga which could do just that. They might have been big and expensive, but
I'm sure it wasn't a new concept.
I think it's because it was the first home computer that could run two
OSs *at the same time* -- ISTR there was a way to run an MS-DOS and an
Amiga OS program at the same time.
I got 11 out of 30. I suck. :-)
That's the same as I got, which I thought was not too bad considering I
have avoided Amigas of all sorts.
