Oh, <deleted>.

NO ONE SAID MULTI-TASKING IS USELESS.  NO ONE WAS FLAMING ANY MACHINE FOR
HAVING IT.

I'm sorry I spoke.  Yes, M/T is nice/handy/whatever, but I still haven't
been convinced that it is the be-all and end-all, particularly for most
'home users' (non-developers? come on, you know who I mean, I hope.)

In the interests of net peace and harmony, I should be reachable by any
of:

   Smee at UK.AC.BRISTOL  (JANET/UK)
   Smee at UK.AC.BRISTOL via UKACRL.BITNET (BITNET)
   Smee at BRISTOL.AC.UK thru any of the ARPA gates that support
                         domain addressing
   or
   pes at bath63 via whatever return address you can work out from the
                     header of this message.

Send further flames to me directly.  (Some mailer enroute will probably
bounce them anyway, so I shouldn't have to read much :-)

Meanwhile, someone needs to set up an electronic mail study group, because
I tried when writing the original question to make it clear that I was
honestly seeking information, rather than trying to start another flame
war.  Obviously I didn't get it right -- which appears often to be a problem
with this form of discussion.  Sorry.  (And, P.S., these groups are probably
not the place to discuss that.  Where is?)
