Oh Nooooooooo!
I thought I could post my 2 cents worth without bashing, but
now I've started an X-vs-Mac thread.

I'll just say that given the state of Mac software before
Multifinder, I'm pleased with Apple's multi-tasking offering.
Originally I thought it was useless, but now that I have enough
memory and some good software, I find it very useful.

I'm outa here before I create another monster.
(did I at least spell everything right this time?)
