   | I looked down at my dock and thought that is a lot of apps running.  I did not count the background apps like my UPS and I as up at 18.  Is this normal? _________________A Mac user

   | Hmm, on which machines? I am setting up a new laptop for a manager, so it is sitting next to me chugging away doing installs, downloads and updates. My main laptop has about 18 apps open, including 3 RDP sessions onto servers, each running different tasks, from Active Directory listings, mail gateway status to anti-virus activity on the network...  _________________

   | 6 different apps, although I've got multiple instances of each app running (& tabs etc), I'm also connected to 3 servers via remote desktop with 10 apps running on each.

   | Its a myth.  Girls don't multitask.  They just change their minds so often it looks like they are multitasking.    *runs away faster..........................*_________________A Mac user
