New York Times, 25 April 1989, in an article on new operating systems for the
IBM PC:

    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?
