Those making convincing arguments for *absolutely* needing pre-emptive
multi-tasking (i.e. I have a 300000 line Fortran program), should be
using A/UX. The small gain in MacOS for pre-emptive multi-tasking is
not worth the effort, or the affects on what makes MacOS so good. 
Do you want to wait two seconds before the Mac takes your mouse click
and starts resizing your window? I think not. Multi-Finder combined
with virtual memory is about the diminished limit of return for MacOS.
