I don't think this has anything to do with avoiding disk errors. It's
just that Intuition (the Amiga's GUI) is not multi-threaded. If you want
to copy several files at a time, you can open ten shell windows and copy
files in each one, while you use the GUI to drag and drop (i.e., copy) a
file. Hopefully, Intuition will be made multi-threaded in the next
release.

I've used Windoze and OS/2 (I like OS/2 a lot), OS/2 is the next best
thing to the Amiga's OS, but Windoze 95 and 3.1 still suck by
comparison. I don't think that Microsoft has ever understood what a GUI
is all about. To get an OS better than the Amiga's, you need to use a
Silicon Graphics Indy (which costs significantly more than an Amiga!). I
can understand paying more $ to get a better OS. I just can't understand
paying more to get less!
