My first use of the "Internet" was preparing and submitting payroll through a dialup system when I worked for the state. It was somewhere around 1985 and I had to wonder how "great" this thing was going to be when it took over an hour to submit a few timesheets into a non-local mainframe. I was an administrative assistant in

How many of us multi-task? How many of us multi-task to the point of distraction? I'm not talking about doing two or three things at once, but excessive multi-tasking.
