I am working on my course syllabus for my conservation genetics course today. I have a deadline Thursday that I must meet. But before I start, I wanted to share this graphic with you.

That resembles my computer's speed when multitasking. (No sound, by the way.)
There was the old 'comparison' of Jesus and Windows: "Jesus worked multiple miracles; it's a miracle if Windows multitasking works."
It's not quite that bad, but some programs eat more memory than they should.
They are using a propietary HTML tag that works for IE only, (<bgsound>) so you won't get any sound on a decent browser. If you want to hear the sound, you can go to this link:
