The only things that it can do better than a Mac would make a great game, but nothing more. To give you an idea; Commodore rants about their "multitasking". I had this "multitasking" demonstrated for me. It ran two processes simultaneously and they took four times as long as if the processes had been run consecutively. Some multitasking; it's there, but no one will want to use it. -- _emt ----- ARPA: tecot@{CMU-CS-K.ARPA|K.CS.CMU.EDU} UUCP: {seismo|ucbvax}!cmu-cs-k!tecot "They pelted us with rocks and garbage!"
