While developing and testing the BigIcons, I took advantage of the systems mutitasking environment. I had XPager set up for 5 desktops or rooms or whatever you want to call them. I had FM/2 opened in the first, the second desktop ready to use another instance of FM/2 or PMView when needed, PMView in the third, Small (a text editor I purchased over 20 years ago in the fourth, with the 5th used to open folders and properties to get and check info, along with restarting the desktop.
I discovered you can only restart the desktop approximately 10 times before XPager disappears and the system has to be rebooted. I can't imagine trying to do what I did under Windows. What I did in 2 weeks, it would have be months under Windows. As it was, I worked around 10 hours or more each day to get it to the presently level. The wife wasn't happy.
