You can also do fun things with extra memory, like "multi-tasking."
This permits you to run multiple applications at the same time on
your system.

One thing I expect to do when I start multi-tasking is update a
spreadsheet in one window while I am reading files to get data
from another system.  I may also add compiles at the same time.

This capability usually requires a 386 (or 486) plus 2mb or
more of memory (plus the software that multi-tasks: Unix, Microsoft
Windows, Quarterdeck).
