- I'v been following the discussions about switch it and how multitasking on a
- GS is something that is not very easy to do.
-
- My understanding of Switch It is that it can suspend execution of program A,
- and resume executing program B, at the user's request; and of course go the
- other way. Now if it switched between programs A and B very rapidly, wouldn't
- it be (at the user's point of view) the same as multitasking the two programs?
-
- I am not a GS programmer, so feel free to put me in my place if this idea is
- about as sensible as putting 'Cling Rap' over the ozone hole.
-
- It was just a thought.
