Hello Don,
I still hate it...
Multi-tasking is one of those promises that Windows never lived up to IMHO. I believe it's a lot of hot air. Lots of times you run something and the machine just won't switch to another task until completion. Ridiculous. So now I need two PCs to keep up my productivity. For DOS I had a task switcher and believe it or not I could hot-switch via F-keys. So I needed only one PC. Pathetic.
