*sigh*... that is not true at all.  if the mac os is so far advanced, why did
it just NOW get any form of inter-process communication?  is that why the
Mac's Multi-tasking is still in the dark ages compared to the Amiga's
Multi-tasking.  Is that why to this day MOST of the mac machines don't have a
32 bit clean rom?  The mac has *some* features that are more advanced than the
Amiga, and the Amiga has *some* features that are more advanced than the
Mac's.

Again, The Mac has *some* DIFFERENT features than the Amiga, and the Amiga has
some DIFFERENT features from the mac.
