No. Wrong. We've done it right, honest.

My MacIIx running A/UX 2.0 with MultiFinder presently shows the following 
applications running: MacX, Finder, CommandShell, TextEditor. Yesterday, 
at an Apple product view, I had these additional applications open: 
HyperCard, Claris CAD, MicroSoft Word, and Wingz. Executing "ps -el" (in a 
CommandShell, of course) further shows the usual lineup of daemons: nfsd, 
biod, ypbind, sendmail, xclock, xload, etc. [My mail reader, xmh, runs on 
a remote Vax -- alas, no MultiFinder there :-) ]
