1) Most users do not have multiple computers (particluarly Atari's)
2) It ways down the system with various things that are not otherwise
   necessary

In MiNT terms, multi-user systems typically mean being able to log
into the same machine multiple times (in different shells) as different
users ("root" and "a.n.other"), and granting FTP access to remote users...
Not really the biggest of deals, eh?

Seriously, do you know lots of offices using networks of Ataris?
