Hello David - 

DD>>> Multiple applications running simultaenously for one. 

CA>> I started using IBM computers with DoubleDOS. Only two
CA>> tasks but it worked on an XT. 

DD> Yep. used to run my BBS on DoubleDOS. 

So what you said about multiple applications wasn't quite 100%? 

CA>> When the company upgraded to an 80386 I moved to Desqview.
CA>> That worked well enough most of the time. The machine
CA>> multitasked 24/7 monitoring the PBX and spitting out
CA>> reports on same. 

DD> Desqview was never distributed in this country with DOS,
DD> one have to pay extra to buy it. 

I did buy both DoubleDOS and then Desqview with QEMM. Neither
was cheap at the time either. :-\ 

DD> Linux can be had legally for no capital outlay. 

Sort of. I don't really see myself ever downloading hundreds of
meg of files at home. At work on a T1 maybe.
