- Your e-mail (.stack.urc.tue.nl) suggests you must know something about os'es.
- (Unless you're with the mathematics stuff.)
-
- Then you must know that the one of the reasons amigo-os multitasks so nicely
- (yes, it does multitask very well.) is that is lacks all the difficult things
- like paging, virtual memory, memory protection. I know mac has some of these.
- It slows down a system, but these things are a absoulte requirement for modern multi-
- user, multi-tasking systems. (Too bad amiga dont has them. (native.))
-
- btw: i'm not a mac fan. The only mac i advocate is Mac Donalds :-)
