You know, I use Win 2K on my working machine, I've never found it necessary to do 10 things at once! Nice being able to crash an application without crashing the computer, though. Windows NT version O.S. actually run DOS as an application, I think, it isn't underneath anymore. Years ago I used SG workstations running Alias in X-Windows, there was Unix underneath, but it wasn't all that usefull, other for running timed start operations late at night and transferring files to a PC. Command line stuff is pretty dead, nobody can remember the stinking stuff anymore! I'd guess 99% of the Windows users never use it. Quark 5, just out, incidently, states O.S. 8.6 required, I gather it runs in Classic mode. In the real world Quark is THE App on Macs, along with the programs like Photoshop that are required to support it.
