Photoshop.
Which is the main reason I can't go for those other funky OSes like BeOS
or NeXT.

Hah! I was just telling a friend that.
we think alike.

Hmmm. Linux has the GIMP. Didn't someone port Photoshop to Be?
NeXT is good but will it run on your mac? I thought it was intel hardware
only. dunno. apple probably ported it after they bought 'em.
and rhapsody is now MacOS Server, isn't it?
My advice: screw the word server. Get it. It's a billion times better than
the MacOS.
multitasking says it all for me.

I haven't heard anything about the word "server". I'd get it, but for
one really fucked up problem: it won't run on Vox. Can you believe
this? I just get this power mac, and now they're already obsoleting it.
It's enough to make me want to eat computer chips and scream.

...plenty of that, already, without compounding it

The cool-looking black slabs are based on Motorola 680x0 CPUs; I don't know
anything about the surrounding architecture, but it might be possible to port
NextStep to the 680x0 Macintosh architecture without major alterations.

Rhapsody is the port to the Motorola RISC-based Macintoshes.

Note that we aren't rolling in dough, and I don't think the final release of
Rhapsody is out yet. (Final in more senses than one, since they're dropping
all development to go after a whole new remap of the MacOS kernel.)

I think 6.8 w/MultiFinder multitasked, and I know everything past 7.0 did.
Although preemptive tasking is still better...

This is a test of the emergency signature system. Had this been an
actual signature, the delimiter you just saw would have been followed

But Vox isn't one of those...

It doesn't seem to be any different to me...if it helps the machine to
not hang, though, it would be a plus.

If God dropped acid, would He see people?
I never heard anyone saying it took a 604+... Your thinking about one of the
possiblestatements about MacOS X, which has the dubious distinction of not
existing yet.
Preemptive tasking means, in a good implementation, that you don't have to
wait when switching foreground apps.
Not hanging is accomplished via protected memory, which isn't intrinsically
part of preemptive multitasking.
