Many reasons. 1) much greater control over the memory usage of the device, and enough control to ensure that the device never feels slow or sluggish because 'too many' things are running. Also, security of the device and being able to have every process run completely it its own space, unassailable from other apps. > Now it's just another intentionally crippled device. No, it's a device that will always be ready and will never give me a spinning rainbow cursor. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
