Jack - my entire club went down to look at the first Amigas... we were excited
until we found out that the editor and other programs weren't reentrant... you
had to take up memory for another copy each time you started another session
multitasking.

Amiga programmers are getting better at writing more programs as reentrant, but
an awful lot of stuff still isn't.  Always seemed like a waste of a 68000's
talents to me.  I used to accuse them of treating the 680x0 cpus as "giant
6502s" .
