Sigh. Amiga Snobs Strike Again.

I convinced my mother to dump her CoCo for an Amiga. She's got an
A500, and an A3000/25-50 on the Power Up program; she would have
bought the A3000 instead of the A500 if the Power Up program had been
available. Not a complaint about it from her, though.

On the other hand, every time she reads an Amiga magazine and some
ignoramous says "the Amiga has the first/only/best Multitasking in a
home platform" she mentions it to me.

Seems she's been running preemptive multitasking with a dynamic
priority system since before the first Amiga was powered on (I
convinced her to buy that one as well, and she never regretted it). On
a machine that costs less than an A500, at that.
