I personally never find it necessary to do TEN things at once
however is is often very desirable to to do TWO things at once
and if one of those tasks is rendering a 3D animation or burning a CD
OS9 is not suitable for my needs.
Quark express is the industry Standard in Offset prepress
because four color film service service bureaus
and Film image setter manufacturers and the entire print industry
has adopted quark layouts as the defacto standard for film output
for offset plate making.
this is largely due to the fact that quark inc. allowed third party developers
access to the apps source code and write all those custom extensions
that have made quark the juggernaught it is today.in the prepress industry
And if you ve ever Ripped a 30 page 4 color process book to a film image setter
out of quark in OS 8.6-9.2 on a MAC 866 mzh G4,and sat watching a progress bar for 30 or more minutes
( due to ethernet print network speed limitations)
while your production manager has a heart attack because sales just promised
a rush, design while you wait job, to a premium client,..............
well let me just say that a multitasking OS is a highly desirable feature
in MANY industries.
