Someone asks, "I'm curious.  Just how great is multi-tasking?"

Now I am no wizard, but isn't the real beauty of multi-taksing a lot more
than just being able to print in the background.  For example, device drivers,
print spoolers, communication programs, fast database systems, and a lotta
other keen stuff are much easier to develop and debug if they can be
implemented as a bunch of simultaneously runnig tasks on a multi-tasking
machine.

In other words, if 6 chimpanzees, programming at random, work on a
mu;titasking system they will produce all the worlds great programs
a lot faster than if they were working in MSDOS.  8-)

Hey--I could be wrong.
