Lines: 23 I completly agree with the statement that Mac OS should have prementive multitasking.. Multifinder is a joke, they is no way to download from a modem while running another app. Here are some other problems. 1. There is no way to set a task's inportance, each other the backgroud app's get equal time, except for the foreground app, witch can steel all of the cpu time if it wants too. 2. What about all those nice coprossers the fx has. When will we see a system that truely supports them! 3. When will we see the new print architechure, line-layout manager, and apple scripting. I used to think the apple was a little behind in hardware, and ahead of the game in system software. Now I think the opposite might be true. I sure hope that apple gets these into system 8, and I hope system 8 doesn't take 2 years to get here. My next computer purchase may depend on apple coming out with system 8 on time.
