- There are three or four extensions that handle this. SpeedCopy (part of
- SpeedDoubler) gives you multithreaded copying within the Finder and lets
- you use the Finder for other things. Although I think the way that

- copies simultaneously, itsimply spools the copy request and does one at a
- time - still giving you control of the Finder.
