forget typeahead.  multitasking is a sign of real bloat.  quote from
the New York Times, 25 April 1989:

  Real concurrency---in which one program actually continues to
  function while you call up and use another---is more amazing but of
  small use to the average person.  How many programs do you have that
  take more than a few seconds to perform any task?
