In article <23088@usc.edu> papa@pollux.usc.edu (Marco Papa) flames for
a while....

Thank you very much. I'm not refusing to move anywhere. I've acknowledged
that my terminology was incorrect. What I don't see is what relevence that
has to what I was trying to say... which is that virtually anything you do
on the Amiga involves inteprocess communication and sharing resources with
other tasks. If you (the collective you) would quit being such LMIs and
consider the substance of what I'm saying here perhaps we'd make some
progress.

I'm totally dumbfounded at the reaction that a single poorly-worded sentence
has produced from what I believe to be a generally sensible bunch of folks.

I hereby completely retract anything I have said that might even imply that
the phrase "system call" has any relevance to the Amiga, or that message
passing is the only form of interprocess communication. I retract these
statements without any caveats or exceptions. Now can we get on with some
productive work instead?
