>Very cool multitasking between PhotoShop, e-mail, Internet and >Appleworks all at the same time in lighten quick efficiency. But how do you multitask when the tasks you are working on require almost all of the user's time, i.e., when working with email you don't have time to keep feeding instructions to PhotoShop; PhotoShop quickly executes your instructions and awaits a new command...okay, there may a 5-10 seconds pause as a transformation filter runs...almost enough time to look at another program and decide what you wanted to do in those few seconds; etc. Few jobs even lend themselves to on-the-fly multitasking because the user can't think that fast. Sure you could "set up" a short-term situation where multitasking could be used but the planning would take more time than routinely performing all operations in a conventional, sequential fashion. >What do my fellow Rocketeer's think of this possiblity?
