Well, that's not really true.  I have a desk accessory called 'backdown'
for my mac which will download in the background while the finder
is running.  During the download I can play any game I feel like,
even Hack.  

(Oh yeah.  And don't flame me for being a mac owner posting on the Amiga
board, because I work for OSU's department which is responsible for
both Amiga's and Mac's - I have to be familiar with both.  So there.)
