I just came back from MacExpo here in Boston and saw their new "Multifinder"
"first generation multitasking" system.  They really have no right to call
this thing multi-tasking.  It gives you print-spooling (even the lowly PeeCee
has print-spooling) and the ability to have several programs open at once
(if they're compatible with Multifinder) but they do NOT run at the same time
unless the program makes "give-up-the-CPU calls" frequently!  That's right,
no time slicing whatsoever.  This is really a joke!  
There are no provisions whatsoever for process spawning, inter-task
communication, or, it appears, even dynamic memory allocation (it appeared
that each program was allocated a fixed ammount of memory, out of which it
could allocate what it needed).

I wonder if Apple is really going to pull the wool over its user's eyes by
advertising "The new Mac multitasking operating system."
