- Hi Boris,
-
- I'm a great fan of Atari too, you could even call me an Atari chearleader,
- I don't care, but what do you mean by saying the Falcon does TRUE
- multitasking an the Pc and amiga only time-share? The Falcon also only has
- 1 CPU, so what are you talking about? The difference between pre-empritve
- and cooperative multitasking? Thank god MultiTOS is pre-emptive. I work
- quite alot with Mac's (Multifinder & System 7) and everything goes nice and
- well until you run some program that doesn't give other
- processes any time. Goodbye "multitasking"!
- And they don't even decent inter-process-communication. MultiTOS has lots
- of those features, even old TOS had them (appl_write/appl_read)
-
- Ta!
