Aucbvax.1700 fa.apollo utzoo!duke!decvax!ucbvax!JMCHUGH@USC-ECL Sat Jun 13 08:35:57 1981 Are Windows Necessary? It appears to me that one area of vastly greater functionality that should arrive with personal workstations is the capability to view more than one item at a time, e.g., "window" the screen so that I can view a message to which I am responding (and maybe even extract quotes), etc. In addition, I might have other background tasks that I'd like to monitor while I'm working on something else.

Can any of you who now have this capability comment on whether (and by how much) you find that it saves time or increases the quality of your efforts?

Cheers - Jim

P.S. Let's DEFINITELY change the list name away from a vendor name. How about OAW at MIT-MC (office automation workstations) or OAX at MIT-MC (office automation experiments)? -jfm- -------
