	When I read that two days ago, I remeber thinking to myself,
"Great, that means Apple won't do anything about Multi-Tasking in 7.0" 
What Ed described can be done in every Macintosh that's running Multi-Finder.
Heck, I can do it right now. Print in the background using apple supplied
print monitor, download from compuserve using Microphone, and open up
MS Word to write a memo.
