He said multifinder DOES allow multi-'pseudo'-tasking. You can, in fact, run two applications simultianeously, BUT, they HAVE to be written for it. I was incorrect in saying that multifinder only allows you to SWITCH between applications (which, BTW, ISN'T multitasking). Anyone know when we're gunna have this for the GS?
