   Good morning Kurt,   
      
   KW> I miss those single-tasking days. If you had a terminal program   
   KW> open, you were connected to a BBS and the clock was ticking. If you   
   KW> were writing a document, you were writing a document. If you were in   
   KW> a spreadsheet, well, you get the point...   
      
   Me too, except that I never left a terminal program open. I just opened   
   it when I needed to fetch something or for mail.   
      
   KW> Now, with multitaking OSes and windows desktop environments you can   
   KW> have dozens of tasks competing for your attention.   
      
   KW> I'm typing this in SyncTerm, running in full screen, and this screen   
   KW> is all I can see. It's refreshing.   
      
   Even though OS/2 is the best multitasking system I have encountered I'm   
   personally still stuck in the single task at a time. This machine is   
   running the BBS all the time and has the node windows open but the only   
   additional program running is this QWK program using the QED editor.   
      
   Have a nice night,   
      
   Holger
