I was at a friends house the other day looking at her Mac II (a decent
machine).  I needed to format a disk so I fired it up and move the
mouse over to check out some programs.  She looked at me and asked me
what I was doing.  "You mean you can't run another program while doing
a simple format???".

"Living" on Unix all day (in X11) then going home to my Amiga I kinda
forget about things like single tasking computers...
