I don't think that you can just disregard XENIX from SCO for example, which
is a multi-user and multi-tasking OS which will run on the PC XT.  By the 
way, how many users will the Apple OS support on a single MAC?

Numbers please... the ALR I just purchased will, using Turbo C, compile at a
rate of 15,000 lines per minute.  In my opinion, 'far faster' implies at 
least 30,000-50,000 lines per minute.  Okay, I'll be the first in line for
MAC-plus, which is more exspensive than my ALR, if it will compile C code
at 50k lines per minute.
