Just ordered a 3.0GHz 8-cylinder tower. should be here in a couple weeks.

I couldn't help it. I have been kept awake by visions of multitasking.


Have you got this box yet? I must say my impression is that any concept of full muttley-tasking is rather messed up by Apple's insistence on one-drive, one-volume systems design. I can't even make my Pro unzip an archive with another drive as the target - it sits there reading and writing onand off the same disk until it finishes - and invariably it wants that to be the system volume. The whole thing is hamstrung by insisting on using that first drive for EVERYTHING.
