	Not that this really belongs on a Linux listserv,
	but I think that this capability began with the
	SEs and System 6 w/ MultiFinder (which was kind
	 of a weak attempt at multitasking).  The only
	reason I think it started with the SE line is
	that I don't think the Plus and Classic machines
	had expansion slots for a second video card.
	However, I'm happy to report that it's been so
	long since I've touched any of this hardware
	that I have forgotten a lot of what I used to
	know, so I may be wrong about this.
