EccentricsWe all know someone who's a little bit strange - Mum's UFO abduction secret, or the mad Uncle who isn't allowed within 400 yards of Noel Edmonds.
Tell us about your family eccentrics, or just those you've met but don't think you're related to.

No multitasking?Well, maybe not easily on the STe and Mega ST, but that was because they used the Motorola 68000, which couldn't keep other threads going if one crashed. Same as the Amiga, of course.
Then MultiTOS came along, which made a pretty fair stab at mulitasking, but was soon overtaken by the TT which had a 68030, fully capable of multitasking.
But then, Amigas were only ever used to play games with their rather crude graphics system. As the RM380Zs faded away from labs round the country and before the Amstrad PC640HDs arrived, you'd find lots of STs doing serious computing. No Amigas, though.
