  Yes, but it's safe sex either way.

 PM> And of course you must never, ever share a toaster. Also, you

  Oh, yair. Then how come you popped your toaster?

 PM> Is coming into money like shooting your wad?

  I don't know, but I've lost a bundle at the races.

  Gee, thanks, Paul. That's a great help!

 PM> Ah! therein lies the story! You see, some people have what

  That's why they like OS/2. They think it'll do multitasking.

 PM> THe parallel brains don't have this limitation and can, say,

  I've actually seem people fall down stairs and scream at the same
time. Amazing! Preemptive multitasking is the way to go. Cooperative
MT requires too much intelligence. There is always the risk of eating
the paper and reading the toast.
