Nor does it possess preemptive multitasking. -If anyone thinks this doesn't matter, try up/downloading a file at -20k baud while running a compile and writing a letter. Windows -can't do it and neither can the mac, but OS/2 and UNIX make it easy. Why not try an Amiga? This is the kind of thing we do all the time. -- Gregory R.
