   Here's the problem:

   Don't you how boring it is to reorganize your code just to do:
   for i:=0 to 100
       let_the_others_work();
   end
   This is even more true in OO applications !

   Do you imagine yourself saying during the development of Tunes:
   "Well, the files managing team have finished their work, so the video
    managing team can start..."

   NONSENSE !

   Cooperation between objects is important of course...
   But it must be cooperation, in terms of communication, between parallel
   tasks supervised (Is it english ? ;-) by the teams' manager (the OS...) !

   If you choose cooperation multitasking then Tunes is already dead !
   Or proove me the way you are going to implement such a concept in Tunes
   applications.
   I mean in an efficient way ! That will not suck as you say ! ;-)
