[Talking abot how the Mac doesn't really multitask]

I thought only Amiga users thought that only preemptive multitasking was
"real" multitasking.  I'm sure I don't have to say this but I will anyway.
 The Macintosh does a good job of multitasking as long as all of the
applications give up enough time or "cooperate".  I use Microsoft Works
(yeh I know ClarisWorks is better but this was bundled with my computer),
Soft PC, Zterm, and Hypercard mostly.  None of these apps hog the CPU so
even my lowly Mac LCII multitasks them pretty well.  

I liked my Apple //e and I like my //e card but there comes a time that
you just have to move on.
