Thought I'd put in my 2 cents worth since everybody else already has.

How about have the Workbench multitask with itself?

As it stands now, when you load a program or do any other task that requires a
non-trivial amount of time you get a 'zzz' pointer and must wait until it is do
ne.

Why not have the Workbench launch a new task whenever it does these tasks.
That way the user could still use the workbench while it loaded a program,
delete a drawer, etc.  Taken to the extreme one might never have to the zzz
pointer again.

Oh, yeah.  Make info multitask.  The current situtation is absurd.
