Hi Boris,

I'm a great fan of Atari too, you could even call me an Atari chearleader,
I don't care, but what do you mean by saying the Falcon does TRUE
multitasking an the Pc and amiga only time-share? The Falcon also only has
1 CPU, so what are you talking about? The difference between pre-empritve
and cooperative multitasking? Thank god MultiTOS is pre-emptive. I work
quite alot with Mac's (Multifinder & System 7) and everything goes nice and
well until you run some program that doesn't give other
processes any time. Goodbye "multitasking"!
And they don't even decent inter-process-communication. MultiTOS has lots
of those features, even old TOS had them (appl_write/appl_read)

Ta!
    Vincent
