Oh, yes, I have some food cooking on the stove as I read this, and an old Tamizh song program is playing....but that's not the kind of thing I am talking about.... I'm saying, I generally cannot chat with multiple windows open, or write while I'm chatting, or on the phone. I often don't make phone calls until I have the time to talk to the person, and do nothing else at the same time...and I feel quite inadequate when I see people doing up to seven things at once! Thank you, Charles, you made my day! But of course, it's the difference between "won't" and "can't". Deepa.
