- You can't, you are task-switching. There is a difference, in that when you
- multitask, the OS works out which apps should have how much processor time,
- and with task-switching, it only gives a diffent one all the power, the one
- you have selected at the time. This gives the illusion of multitasking, but
- it isn't true multitasking.

- My dad has given up on Win95, and has decided to learn DOS instead. He says
- that DOS is far preferable to that abomination, and I tend to aggree with
- him (we have a Win95 P100, and it still crawls).

- But it still crawls, even with a P100 with 16meg of RAM and a 1 GIG HDD.
