The perils of multitasking

One of the wonderful things about modern computers is the ability to have the processor(s) working on multiple things at once, so that as each task is executing I can be preparing another one to run on another piece of work.  That is, it's wonderful until one of the programs locks up, and the things I was working on were interrelated, and none of them can be completed without the piece that was being crunched before the lock up.  Sigh.

It will be okay, though.  This is but a tiny setback.
