Hehe.  Try doing C++ development while running four network applications,
Photoshop, and DeBabelizer.  Or video editing, compression, and file
sharing.  Or MP3 encoding and CD-ROM burning while doing anything else.  I
love Macs.  But they are still single-thread machines essentially.  We
reboot our G4 towers in the office at least twice a day.  The sound they
play at startup has become known as "playing the reboot blues" ;)
