Peirce Point of fact: I am using an HP330 with only (!) 4MB RAM, running version 6.5 of HP-UX with X11. I just came back from a reboot. I had started a terminal process to an HP3000, and immediately afterward, triggered an X client to read the mail. After 10 minutes of waiting, I rebooted, as EVERYTHING was locked. Deadly Embrace with the LAN (I'm running discless over LAN)?? This in a "true multitasking" system. Don't try this one at home, kids. These are trained apologists for the way things _should_ work.
