I read in the Byte article (Next is handing it out) that the Mach
OS supports "threads".  And that these threads are useful in multi or
parallel processing.  Does anybody out there have any references for
this capability?  Are there real plans to allow this sort of thing? or 
is it just hype?  I asked the Next technical salesperson when they were
here and all I got was "of course there are plans" end of comment.
