Please answer this question SOMEBODY:

To me, multitasking means:

multiple tasks running concurrently having the appearance of multiple
machines running simultaneously..

with the MULTI-FINDER can I:

		Compile a 268K C program in a window
				and
		Use Macterminal to down load a 220k binary file
				and
		Repaginate my 235 page thesis
				and
		play a game of chess
all in their own respective windows, and all simultaneously..
Can I do this?  Assume of course I have a 6Megabyte Mac II
a 20 inch display, and a Hayes modem.

Can Multi-finder handle this????
If not then its not a big step beyond switcher.
