Win3.1 would run several programs at once. Just not preemptively. But 
unless something went wrong, you didn't really notice it.

Note that at the same time, the Mac could have several windows open, but 
only one program at a time, so all the windows had to come from the same 
program.  What??

I went and bought an Amiga, myself. ;-)

Yeah. It was sooo nice when you actually got printer drivers with the 
OS, instead of six floppies of printer drivers coming with each 
application.
