I think there's a lot of truth in that. Multifinder on a Mac seems
to lend itself to bugs and crashes too much. I just installed Windows
3 as well and I've been getting quite a few crashes on that.

What worries me about Multifinder is that it will crash with software
that is known to be good when not running multifinder. The Amiga tends
to have bad pieces of software which will happily crash you any old time...
