AGREED!  I have been reading this board on and off for some time now.  This
due to many users on my system whom use st's.  Multi-tasking requires very
little "cleverness" and the OS often does the work for you.  It doesn't take
long to see the advantages and use them.  For me, if I had to return to a 
single tasking enviorment it would be like some of you having to return to
a 40 column screen (bleech).  Your 68000 is mot likely barely used.  Why 
not give it abit extra in the way of jobs?  Multi-tasking makes you far more
productive.  Useless award - this is right.  I would guess that the most 
likely feature to be seen on all future machines will be OS's that
multitask.   Why the heck should you have to stop working just because your
OS can't "talk and chew gum" at the same time?
