[comp.sys.apple] multitaskers, etc.

A lot of people have been talking about switchers, multitaskers, minix,
etc.  Are any of you actually _working_ on any of these things?  I don't
have the technical expertise to do this kind of programming and I know it,
otherwise I'd give it a shot.

I know Daemon is out there, but since I haven't gotten it from Apple2-l yet,
I can't really evaluate it.

Is someone trying to actually do these things or we all just spouting empty
wishes?

I'm not actively working on anything yet.  However, discussion & design of
these things is very important before actually digging in.  Secondly, I don't
know if I'm actually going to have time to take such a project to completion
on my own time.  That's why I'm sharing any ideas or suggestions I have.

Very simple addage:  Look before you leap.
