What, via FTP?  I frequently can work in a word-processor, be getting
off-line mail, downloading two things from FTP, connected with
Netscape on Windows for Workgroups and my 8-meg DX2-66.  Typing a
message and FTP'ing are hardly demonstrative of extreme multitasking.
I've been taking something at 14.4 from a BBS, working in Quark
Express, and even unpacked 10 megs of .ZIP's from a  DOS window and
have not lost a character in Windows.  

The bottom line is, I can multitask.  It works.  OS/2 is more robust
and powerfull, but Windows certainly can do a decent enough job for
menial tasks like the ones described above.
