(Hint: protected >memory) First of all, I've stated that I was incorrect in saying that Multifinder doesn't allow multitasking. Second, I WAS NOT ragging Mac. THIRD, I had valid reasons to say that because I use macs everyday WITH multifinder! >So, I can't have "two applications both RUNNING at the SAME >appearent time", huh?

Yeah, like I've been standing over your shoulder watching you work with your mac and then said it doesn't do it. Also, note that applications do NOT run simultaneously with multifinder UNLESS they're specifically written for it, or at least, that's what the president of the mac users groups, who's also the mac rep for aur university and a darn good programmer, so this time, if I'm wrong, at least I have a *valid* reason to be. >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 think you've miss interpreted the intent of our discussion. No one was ragging the mac, in fact, it started out talking about the fact that the mac IS faster than the GS. >I am quite the proud Macintosh owner. Is that a crime?

Please pay more attention to the messages you read on this net before you start accusing people of being 'bigots'. >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 No one's bitching OR complaining of any kind.
