Finally!  Someone who's finally realized the whole point to this stupid
back and forth whining about who's got what.

If you really really really can't live without knowing that yer OS 
pre-emptively multitasks, then don't buy a Mac!  Buy a bloody Unix box. 
Or buy an Amiga..(and please let's not get that thread started again!)  Or
get OS/2...there you have multitasking AND multithreading!  Oooo..can you
stand it knowing that yer OS can't multithread? :)

Even better...get a Touchstone Delta...now here you have it all...multitasking
, multithreading, AND multiprocessing!  Of course, you'll need a grant from
the Department of Defense and a few million dollars...but hey...you won't ever
have feature-envy ever again...

Until the next release of the Mac OS. ;)
