Very well put. Espacially if we take into account that only one can do the
dishes at one single time (so they can't do one plate each). But to be more
correct perhaps we can say that they also can do something else when for
instance the other is using the water (or in the computer some hardware).
They can for instance both put the dishes inside a cabinet, or make dinner
(which should IMO have an higher priority if it was included since burnt
food isn't all that good after all <G>).
It will however not be as fast as two single computers doing two diffrent
tasks. If for instance you want to play MP3s and decode others at the same
time using two computers will probably be much better. But this depends of
course on what you do.
