Hopefully in the future the mac will get real multitasking, but for now Multifinder just does not cut it. All programs should multitask and require no special effort by the programmer to get them that way. Of course you could switch to A/UX but does it allow you to run more than 1 mac Application? Those who feel that MultiFinder is enough, or that multitasking is not necessary in a home computer, have never tried true multitasking. -Roger UUCP: {hplabs!hp-sdd ucsd nosc}!crash!pnet01!uzun ARPA: crash!pnet01!uzun@nosc.mil INET: uzun@pnet01.cts.com
