Good morning Kurt,

KW> I miss those single-tasking days. If you had a terminal program

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
