Responding to the following:

"The big difference is that on a mac, the frontmost program gets all the time
in wants, and has control over how much time it gives to other programs.
This is not like the amiga, where the tasks priority determines the
timesharing."

You're wrong. There's nothing special about the frontmost app. The OS only 
gives the frontmost app more processing power because it has to do user
I/O. It doesn't have any more control than any other program.
