I just had my first experience working with Multifinder yesterday, and it left
a very bad raste in my mouth.  I was running Word Tools and Macwrite (both
separately, but in each case, Versaterm Pro was in the background).  Both
programs gave me the "x has just exited unexpectedly (2)"  Why does this happen?
I ended up not using MF because I never got anything done!!  The $%^& programs
kept quitting before they finished!  IS this a memory thing? (It was a 1M Mac+)

I also had a wierd problem using background paser printing.  When the program
ran out of space on the system floppy, it said "no more room for output" or 
some such, then it crashed ID=12.  After that, every attempt to reboot with the
system disk resulted in a crash before I could do anything!!

I was, needless to say, not impressed.  Give me back my Amiga... ;-)
