Hardly! If you're gonna rag on the Mac, you should atleast *try* to find some valid reasons to rag. (Hint: protected memory) So, I can't have "two applications both RUNNING at the SAME appearent time", huh? Maybe you should bop me on the head and tell me "No, you really don't see your program compiling at the *same* time that you document the source code." Yes, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, Mac bigots of all ages, my Mac+ can compile my Pascal source, recalc a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet *and* download a file via a remote connection *all while* I use my favorite text editor to comment my source code. And that is only a lowly Mac+. ;-) I am quite the proud Macintosh owner. Is that a crime? I am also quite fond of the Apple II family. Is that a crime, too? Or only a lessor crime? Why don't you quit bitching about what the Mac can or can't do and get back to the main charter of this newsgroup - bitching about Apple Senior Official's plot to kill the II. I'm not sure if that deserves a smiley or not. > ____________________________________________________________________ >| | | >| This is your brain... | BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm | >| This is your brain on drugs... | pro-line: | >| This is your brain on frog licking.| mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com | >|____________________________________|_______________________________| -----------------------+----------------------------+------------------------- John Terranova | What the Hell do I know? | I speak/type for me johnte@microsoft.uucp | I come from Waunakee! | and no one else. -----------------------+----------------------------+------------------------- "You look so good; you feel good, too.
