In those days I was probably using the C=64 and then the command.com of
DOS, both single-tasking. When I upgraded to a PC with Linux, I got by with
the 6 terminals you get with CTRL-Fn. For what I had to do back then, those
were plenty, most of the times I used just 3 or 4 (and one was a
long-running, compute task that ran for days and I only checked
occasionally to see if it had finished). The others: one text editor, bash,
and another shell alternating between a web browser (lynx) and a mail
client (pine), but I was dial-up pay-by-the-minute and did not have a job,
so I used internet very sparingly (more often I did recursive wget's to
calmly navigate offline later).

Good for you!! Unless COVID has changed things (right now I obviously have
no occasion to see), some of the people I work with have so many tabs that
each does not even display the first letter of the website (but that is
just sloppiness, which is what "forced" browser developers to decide to not
load tabs until you click on them on startup)
