Change the qualifier 'all the time' to 'some of the time', and I agree with you. I suppose we could get into a big discussion on the differences between complex and simple tasks, parallel-tasking, multi-tasking, serial-tasking, but frankly I'm not interested in building a complete set of definitions on that subject. These are all just intellectual classifications and are not really pertinent to zen practice. <...snip...> >If I would pretend to be a wise Zen monk I would explain this >dualism in multi-tasking perhaps like: Everything is multi-tasking >and nothing is multi-tasking.

A wise zen monk would wash out their mouth with soap if they so much as uttered the terms 'dualism' and 'multi-tasking'. ...Bill! ------------------------ Yahoo!
