OK, thanks!

(Will just have to wait until AFTER the book is out, right? :-)

I'll  have to learn some restraint.  Too bad we didn't have an *.advocacy
groups years ago; I'm just now letting down my hair (so to speak, what little
is left :-)  and writing some things I wouldn't have written in the "other"
newsgroups.

But filesystems and schedulers (re: his stance on serial-mono-tasking) are
two different beasts.

And I'm not exactly a stranger to OS design/implementation, just ask some
clients such as Dunegan-Endevco, Macys, UNITOTE/Regitel, etc.
