Re: can't resist

It was an OS line started in the late 1970s and released in 1983 with the Apple Lisa. It didn't get any fundamental core changes for much of its life.

Don't forget that Windows wasn't pre-emptive multitasking until 1995 and that was a bit lame at times too. Formatting a floppy would slow the computer down, probably a lack of DMA.

Neither are comparable to the Amiga with its pre-emptive multitasking, DMA etc in 1985!
