And another thing, this locking mechanism is patented - which makes me wonder how exactly they managed that. My Sinclair QL uses exactly the same linked list system when multiple jobs on the system need access to a resource. One job has it and when done, flags the next job that it can have it.

This, in a home computer built in 1982 for crying out load. Can American companies patent stuff that has been around for years then ?
