This statement is false; I have replied to the author at length by mail,
and I shall be happy to correspond with anyone else who wants to beat this
dead horse.  Keep it out of this group please, we've all heard it too many
times before.

Worse, the statement is irrelevant.  I shall continue to compile, upload,
fileShare, and print in background, and write frequent WaitNextEvent's
into my own code.  I don't need "truer" multitasking than that.

Now, more RAM and a faster processor, THOSE I could *always* use...
