Lovely thoughts: but hardly related to the idea that people generally do one
thing at a time on a computer (run on program). You act like your comments
are in contention or are contrary to the comment:

Even today most people do not do more than one thing at a time.

They are not.


Their operating system does and so things like preemptive multitasking
and memory protection do matter. I bet those people keep their apps
open. At least I bet most people have an email client and a web browser
open. If I walk around to a lot of american households I will find more
than one app running, no matter if the person is only working in one.

Lovely... and irrelevant. Heck, a lot of people have multiple instances of,
say, IE open because they have no idea how to get back to the original
instance once they do something else.
