  21. Jeeze-Louise! Get off your high horse. Ctrl-Tab /only/ freezes input/output
  22. from keyboard/mouse. As Picasso/CyberGFX screens are written to /directly/ by
  23. the Mac process, they get trashed when you switch to WB, etc... Clearly you
  24. aren't using a graphics board... which is what the msg was referring to.
