When the Amiga came out in '85, some Mac magazine predicted the Mac's death - the Amiga could do everything a Mac could. But way better. The Mac wasn't even able to multitask until what, MacOS 7? 'Cooperative' multitasking that is.


Multitasking in a Mac environment meant that -- on a good day, with a tailwind -- I might be able to complete "multiple" tasks (like, two..) on the same day.  Three if you count lunch.  I swear I could read a novel in the time it took my Dad's SE30 to do the simplest redraw of its crappy little green screen.   Sometimes I could catch a movie while I waited for that damn thing to boot..  Heck, I would not be suprised if that P.O.S. is still booting, 12 years later.  Its probably loading extensions by now.  :)   I mean, come on... The early Macintosh vs. the Early Amiga??  There is simply no comparison..
