Re: "Whenever I/O functions are being performed, control is given up to the next program in the queue - giving the appearance that more than one task is being executed at the same time" Mary, you are confusing multithreading with multitasking. Multithreading on a processor with Jackson Technology would allow both instruction streams to execute simultaneously. It's not the appearance of both executing at the same time, they ARE executing at the same time. That's the whole point. EP
