Hell -- my Sun 3/50 at work multitasks like a sonofagun, but it takes *AGES* to
switch windows compared to my Amiga.  On the Amiga, as soon as I've clicked,
I've switched (possibily even gone to another screen -- but that's another 
discussion).  On the Sun, I switch -- wait, wait, wait -- Ah, the border's
dark, I can type now.  Probably an Amiga with Virtual Memory would be the
same.  Ah well.
