Have you not heard of multicore processors? Did you not know
there are other chips besides the CPU, like the disk controller,
the memory controller, the PCI controller, the graphics card,

Math co-processors comes to mind... but that might be a subject
for some other thread.

The original math co didn't work like you might expect. It was there
and would render an assist, only, if, the program specifically
requested it's help. Otherwise, the CPU was going to be doing the work.

Things are happening so fast in a PC these days that you might think
it's 'doing all kinds of things at the same time', but, it's not
really.

zip file but then not be able to unzip it so I can watch it. That
seems VERY clever!
