Hey, buddy, I can assure you that in the grad school they still teach that
cooperative multitasking is *NOT* a good way to multitask. And what does it
have to do with grad or undergrad school? Cant' you just stay close to the
argument rather than the person who is making it???

Maybe he didn't :-), a lot of the profs actually skip PC stuff with the 
exception of Mathematica(tm) probably... Well, what I think the prof meant
was that DOS is a bad OS according to the OS theory principles. From my
experience at least 95% of cs faculty (in the US) share this opinion.
