He's missing the point here. Some people have enough memory to walk and chew gum at the same time. That's why they bought the Amiga, because it has a grown up OS. If a program takes all of memory, why not store some stuff on disk instead, or even (gosh) use segmented loading? >If I want >to play games I play games and that with full concentration. If I have work >to do, I don't need the enemy waiting on the back screen. He dares to speak for all of us! Sounds like a pretty intense guy to me. Myself, I like to work for an hour, take a short break, then work some more. Just like studying.
