just a quick question.

Is Amiga still the only true multitasking computer?

Not sure if thats what I mean.

What I was told once is that with the Amiga its hardware can work independently from each other allowing multitasking. So two tasks would actually be performed at the same time. Even disk access

With other computers the tasks seem to be performed at the same time when actually they are just taking turns but the processor is so fast it looks like they are being performed at the same time.

Was this a lie?
it could be I believe anything I don't understand :lol:
