It appears to me that one area of vastly greater functionality
that should arrive with personal workstations is the capability
to view more than one item at a time, e.g., "window" the screen
so that I can view a message to which I am responding (and maybe
even extract quotes), etc.  In addition, I might have other
background tasks that I'd like to monitor while I'm working on
something else.

Can any of you who now have this capability comment on whether
(and by how much) you find that it saves time or increases the
quality of your efforts?

P.S.  Let's DEFINITELY change the list name away from a
      vendor name.  How about OAW at MIT-MC (office automation
      workstations) or OAX at MIT-MC (office automation
      experiments)?  -jfm-
