	So??

	And the Apple Macintosh had it as far back as the 512k Mac machines.
	
	The Amiga still doesn't support multiple displays, either.. 

	


*The Mac had a large number of products that added on external, full page

virtual desktops, with the autoscrolling handled much the same way it is on 
the Amiga--just change two pointer values...
