   Ah, a plaintive question which has been around for a Very Long Time, and   
   to which no _simple_ answer has ever been given!

   Because of who is saying it I have to believe that, but for anyone who   
   has been using the various Windows versions for a lot of years, it's   
   very _hard_ to believe: the number of background tasks which anyone with   
   less than Paul's (or possibly VanguardLH's, or one other) level of   
   knowledge just has to, for practical purposes, _accept_ running, has   
   risen significantly with each version, from about 9x on. (I'm not sure   
   if 3.1 had any.)

   What's snipped in my two []s in this post is _very_ knowledgeable. But   
   beyond my capability to understand now. This is no criticism, just an   
   acceptance that _my_ processing power is declining!
