Apple might take exception to you saying that :-)

The way I heard it (when MultiFinder was first released), Apple made

Definately.  Although some people around here would rather give up thier lives
than switch (pardon the pun) to MultiFinder.. they just live with the
crashes (says he, just shaking his head in whimsical disbelief..).
