Speaking of being short on foresight, it was only today that I was modifying
my handy dandy disk re-organizer program (Devices are a pain!) and guess what?
I was trying to ^XF (save and finish up) out of Emacs and was out of disk space.
How many of you have ever told an editor you were finished, fallen short of disk
space, and lost everything because the editor was not taught social graces?  I'm
sure I'm not the only one.  
Solution?  Use my MULTITASKING Amiga to clean out some disk space before I 
	clicked on the retry block of the requestor.  
Result? I didn't kill my entire family due to the frustration of losing my 
	program.
Moral?  Even though nearly anything can be simulated with proper programming on
	a non M-T system, it rarely is.  Many programmers take short cuts which
	do not allow for mistakes.  M-T'ing systems are like insurance in case
	your favorite program has problems.
