[comp.sys.atari.st] Surface, bgacc, and Mint; Suggstion of a new topic of discussion

This is Strange with capital 'S'.
Right now I am running Gulam with Surface(monodemo.arc from atari archive, 
I think) in the background using bgacc under Mint!!
Surface program draws lines and drag it around the screen by doing so 
creating a interesting shape.
As I am writing the surface draws several lines across the screen very fast.
It also erase them but not the text. It is not workable but if 
someone comes up with a small accesory that draws some cute animal       
moving around the screen while I am writeing a term paper or while I am
showing off my atari to someone, that will be cool!
Any multitasking idea on St is COOL!

	By the way, it seems that there are a lot of good software out there,
that many of atari user never heard of! Gulam is a good case, I have NEVER
heard of it until about a month ago. Gulam an excellent program that does
worth even paying $50 for it! Micro MT C-Shell, and Minix enviorment are few
examples that didn't get any coverage by Atari community. I have a suggestion
to people who can access comp.sys.atari.st, if you think you have an    
excellent enviorment or program that you think other people don't know
about, please post the set up or the program and the usage of it.
	e.g. A floppy system:
		Gulam, unlzh.ttp, zoo.ttp, arc601.ttp, Flash, Deskcart!    
		With Dcopy360.prg.
			
	Above is my Communication Disk.
		Most of my work is done on the Flash through Gulam.
		Downloaded files are easily extracted through 
		ttp programs from Gulam and the Ram Disk needed for 	
		download is allocated through Deskcart's RamDisk!
		Neccessary file manupulations are done in Dcopy
		including formatting a blank.
Well, above is just an idea. And I am only making suggestion.
I think we could learn a lot better if we could learn from other experienced
atari users out there than from neither Atari Co. nor ourselves which I and
many other are trying to do!
