- I advice you to read a good book on Multitasking and then come back again.

- MUCH BETTER!

- Beep.....What do you mean by better and better supported. That Applescript
- itself is getting better supported. Or that Applescript is way much better
- than Arexx (Which is wrong, but you know that too...)

- But we Amigans have both! I consider draggable screens very nice and handy.
- And ofcourse screens can also have windows on them, if programmed the right
- way. The redraw is faster too.
- Come on, stop fooling around with yourself and get serious brother!

- Try to open -let's say- 500 shells (haha!) on your MAC.
- Or open 500 calculators.....

- Bet your ass I have. Where's the PMT?! And why did you leave out some of my
- other things. Think you can fool me huh?! Go home, you're just wasting some
- time here. And if you can't find a good book on multitasking, ask Micheal
- van Elst or Jeroen Vermeulen (also posters here) for an explanation....
