  10. In article <bn.01co@mndcrme.uoknor.edu> bn@mndcrme.uoknor.edu (Bo Najdrovsky) writes:
  11. >3.0 has nothing to do with the general improvement of the OS. It's a
  12.  
  13. Unfortunately, this is a popular misconception. True, the primary goal of 3.0
  14. was to provide AA support in the OS, but many extra features are included in
  15. 3.0, some as a result of the AA support. To list but a few:
  16.  
  17. Palette sharing.
  18. Double buffering.
  19. Interleaved BitMaps.
  20. Improved BootMenu.
  21. Attached screens.
  22. Memory pools.
  23. Directory-caching File System.
  24. Datatypes.
  25.  
  26. I'm sorry if you don't consider these to be a 'general improvement of the OS'
