- And in what particular sense is Win95 not real multitasking? I will
- grant that the Win16Mutex() can cause problems, but the same deal
- exists on the Amiga if a process locks up inside of a Forbid() block.
- (Actually, its far worse on the Amiga).
-
- I have nothing against extolling whatever virtues you perceive in the
- Amiga, but spreading disinformation about competing platforms is rather
- silly, especially if the audience you intend to attack is reasonably
- well educated on the facts.

- mulithreaded system, which shall remain nameless....
