I hail from the heady days of the Commodore Amiga. Now that was multitasking.

Rendering a 3D a Tornado jet in Imagine, while creating the landscape that it was going to be flying across in VistaPro, in 2 seperate windows on an A500 with a 7.9MHz Motorola 68000 CPU with 512kB of RAM. OK there was a little slowdown, but that was because there was no FPU built into the CPU.
But once I got my mitts on an A1200 with an expansion board that had a 30MHz 68030 CPU, a 50MHz FPU and 6MB of RAM I was flying.

All this was like 23 years ago. When I see today's sorry excuses for "multitasking" I wanna scream.
