: BrainStorm has it all worked out.  I mean, they're not dumb.  :)  So, lets stop
: speculating, and just wait for the demo or the real thing.

No, if it works like MultiFinder for the Mac (which they advertise so), it is
not the same.

1. For the Amiga method, the application works as if it is in a window and you
   can move it. Just like some NDA wordprocessor.

2. You can only move an application vertically and no resizing is allowed. This
   will not corrupt the screen if two or more applications are in different
   resolution.

I just hope one day I will see it on my GS.
