I'm rather disappointed that there are several silly threads about that should be in comp.sys.amiga.advocacy, including one in here that has an interesting title: "How to replace exec's scheduler" or some such, but which really is a long and pointless rant about what "real" multitasking is and isn't. Peter, you've been on the net a long time, and know better. When you tend to get involved in one of these sessions (and you do - you have very strong opinions on things), could you please start to edit out newsgroups other than .advocacy? So the rest of us who have *no* interest in this sort of thing don't have to see it any more? Please? Let's make sure we use the new newsgroups to the fullest extent. >-- >Peter da Silva. `-_-' >.
