Chris – agreed about fragmentation, but… I think it's unfair to blame a user for any program's code problems. Also, there's just been a huge discussion about memory protection on the Internet Amiga groups, and the one person there who claimed that it would breed careless programming, got pretty badly beat up by those who program on such systems 🙂 If anything, it could enhance careful programming, as more errors could be caught and fixed sooner… in addition to protecting the normal user from bad programs. Note that I'll be the first to say that MP isn't necessary on a machine where you only run fully trustworthy code. best – Kev
