Used to? ;) Anytime anybody brings up multitasking or how sluggish
their computer is I can't help but bring up the Amiga... :)
Gee, for a second there, I thought he was going to bring up the ST.
I don't think so... :)
Wny not? There was a version of OS-9 that ran on early ST's - If it could
run well on an 8-bitter, I'd bet it *rocked* on a 68K.
A buddy of mine *still* owes me that Falcon... that'd make a durned nice
OS-9 box!
Still wouldn't mind getting an MM/1 or an AT306, but they're awfully rare
nowadays... and those that have 'em, generally don't give 'em up.
[[ Oh, and this isn't anything against the Amiga for sure - I'm not giving
up my 4000T either, tho I haven't powered it up that often as of late. Most
of my free time has been for work[1] & what little's left has been for
CoCoing... ]]

[1] Yes, it's an oxymoron wrapped in a conundrum, wrapped in a nice soft
pita shell... ;-)
