The way it can do several things "at once" is by packaging the data from each application in chunks, with a leading identifying character set to tell the computer "OK, the next chunk you are getting is part of the Norton download", and a character set at the end of that chunk that says,"done with this chunk of Norton". Then another application gets to send a chunk. Needless to say, it all happens so fast that we can't even tell any diffence in the speed our computer is running. When I got DSL (a really fast upgrade from normal phone line Internet), I was surprised to find that it doesn't have a phone line of its own- I can do all the normal things with the line, while simultaneously being on the Internet with the computer. So its doing the same thing, but with voice communication mixed with the computer data. Pretty cool stuff.
