I have some doubts about that multitasking ... the system seems to go away for
5 - 30 minutes, depending on what it's doing, and won't allow any mouse or
keyboard activity to interrupt what it's doing, which is a mystery. It does
come back eventually, though I've not checked it extensively. This sort of
event happens on both boxes, so I doubt it's broken hardware.
Not to create an issue, but under Windows, that doesn't often happen, though
it's possible, I guess. <ducks to avoid flames> What could be going on?
