Re: The Bi-Annual Movitz Newsletter

Hello,

First, congratulations on the progress that you have been making. I hope 
that as I improve my Lisp skills I will eventually be able to join you 
and contribute to the effort. In the mean time, I noticed this portion 
of your Bi-Annual Movitz Newsletter:

and thought I might be able to give you some help in the form of an idea.

In my poking around the internet, I ran across something a while ago 
called an Exokernel at MIT.
http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/exo/

Now, I'm not advocating that you use it in it's current form, rather, I 
would just offer it as a possible model of how you might modify your 
kernel to solve your "busy-looping" problem.

Keep up the good work.
