Err...
At least once a week I do internet chats using a microphone, and while I
am doing this is sometimes also read email, sometimes check Newsgroups,
sometimes rummage through archived emails and sometimes surf the web
using another window - especially if I am looking for something being
discussed in the conversation.
And, for example, I was reading this NG and replying to posts whilest at
the same time downloading the latest nightly build. :o)
Regards to you all,
David.
