From: Dion Johnson <JOHNSOND%ibm-sj.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa> I submit that to attempt to support multiple users on a computer which does not have storage protection (of some kind) is a waste of time, no matter how fast the damn thing is. To a lesser degree, the same holds for multitasking. So long as I can sit down and with a couple of carefully chosen statements bring the whole system down, then the system dare not be used for any critical work. Whaddaya think?
