 Nyah, nyah, I can run a program called NeXTWindows on my Amiga and
drag windows (the whole window) faster than an 040 NeXT. In fact, it
takes about a few assembler instructions to drag these windows around.
Ahh, the benefits of dual-playfields.

  Bonus: My windows are transparent so you can seee through the windows
being dragged.

Nyah, nyah ;-p
