Default Crash if two programs run at the same time?

Hi Angus,

whether same time is possible at all is debatable.
Usually, one after the other.

The programs get time slices,
a part of time for program 1,
a part of time for program 2.

If you got two different machines, then it is ok.

But imagine two programs from two different machines
writing data at the same time to a mass storage.
Which will win?
