Alomex,

>>The lack of protected memory is one of the biggest flaws of MacOS. Every so often we get a macevangelist trying to convince us that the lack of it is really not that bad. They sound like used car salesmen:

Memory use is entirely deterministic to anyone who understands the issue. "Hacks" on the other hand can crash a system which is why protected memory is so important on a SYSTEM; it helps confine one programmer's mistakes to their own software.

The MacOS should have both preemptive multi-tasking and protected memory since the PowerPC was designed with this purpose in mind but be honest, it is there to cover someone's lack of design skills on most systems.

Cheers,

Norm
