Both humans and computers can multi-process, but there’s always an ”overhead”. This morning while listening to CBS’s Sunday Morning (mostly about tonight’s Grammys) and talking with my better half (It’s her birthday), I was also dealing with my programming task. Actually I was working on the visual part – the way the window would look when the program is invoked. I use APOD nebula pictures as a background, and then in Photoshop, create text to label the various radio button choices.
