You could almost flip a coin, but the first way you open the text editor and do it all, then open Acrobat and do it all; the second way you jump back and forth between them, and you have to wait for each one to activate each time.

You have two horses to exercise: Dobbin and Nellie. You could ride Dobbin once around he track, get off, get on Nellie and ride once around the track, repeat 20 times.  Or you could ride Dobbin 20 laps and then ride Nellie 20 laps.

Or, you have two girlfriends...
