I agree completely. I rarely have more than two Windows processes
open at once, usually Eudora and Explorer. I feel my overhead at
"mental task switching" is too costly for the appearance of
convenience. Also, with a fast machine (I finally have a nice
300 Mhz PC) the time to restart apps from scratch isn't too bad
anymore.

Note: I was off the Net for 6 weeks, accumulated 3800 messages. Currently
still have about 1000 to go. I am catching up, but will be a week or so
before I become current. (So just how asynch is email anyhow?)
