I do a LOT of fractal calculations on my Amiga.  Many of the pictures
take hours (if not days) to calculate.  I often start a picture
generating, and then start making changes to the program I'm
running, recompile and run it again.  So I'm editing, compiling and
testing while my Mandelbrot pictures are generating.  Does this
qualify as a good multitasking example?
