Some may call me silly, old-fashioned, or just plain stupid, but in a way I
am still fond of cooperative multi-tasking. Maybe just because I grew up
using Macs... but I like the feeling of power I get when I change an
application's memory requirements. ;)
Besides... everyone (those who argue in favor of PeeCess over Macs, that is)
makes such a big deal about multi-tasking in Windows... well, to me, the Mac
bomb and the Windows blue screen of death are the same thing - except that
the blue screen of death occurs far more frequently!
