The SRT program from Commodore's Carolyn Schneppner will also interecpt most
(not all) GURUs, and will suspend the offending program, allowing a graceful e
exit from the others. Multitasking is SO useful that it's amazing that people
STILL don't realize how useful. Case in point: I work here at Connecticut Colleg
in the computer lab on campus which has 5 Mac IIs and 3 Amiga 2500/20s. To
protect the Amigas from viruses, I simply start VirusX in the startup-
sequence. The Macs can and do get infected because there are few Mac virus
checkers that, like VirusX, scan every disk inserted while other tasks are
running. VirusX is automatic; the new version can even be invisible! The Mac
may have the edge in software (for certain purposes), but the Amiga is by far
the superior machine.
