So?  why shouldn't a mac be able to multi task?  Convergent
Technology puts out a nice little Unix Box (CT's Miniframe) that
multi tasks very nicely.  It runs on a Mc68010 (10MHz) with 1/2
Meg. of RAM (just like the mac) and works for up to 8 users.  For
that matter, the Amiga is supposed to multitask (I'll see it when
I believe it -- I still think that the amiga is a toy).
