As most people find out, there are just as many if not more programs that crash on the Mac and PC when "multitasking" is present. More so because the original programmers of those applications didn't have to worry about the possibility that some other task might be running. Also the most common time for a PC program to crash is on exit because it has screwed something up. With Windows or MultiFinder or Desqview etc, these crashes become problems because it takes out the whole machine. Prior to this behaviour, most PC users hit ctrl-alt-del so often that some think it is the standard way to exit programs! -- --Chuck McManis Sun Microsystems uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: Internet: cmcmanis@Eng.Sun.COM These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
