Giving the input-focus window top CPU priority makes a lot of | sense to me. I don't want to login to my workstation, and I certainly don't | want other users logging into my workstation through the network. I agree that these desktop boxes should be primarily designed as single- user platforms but the ability to have other logins can be very valuable. I agree that the user with the mouse in his hand should get most of the cpu cycles but I don't know why allowing a limited multiuser capability should detract from this. Just let it be known that "other" users online are the low priority scuzz. :-) -- |_ /| | Robert Minich | |\'o.O' | Oklahoma State University| "I'm a newcomer here, but does the |=(___)= | minich@d.cs.okstate.edu | net every lay any argument to rest?" | U | - Ackphtth | -- dan herrick
