Q: Is there a list of running programs?

Hi All,

When I arrive at an iPhone/iPad that is running a little weird, I double tap the button and show the user how to exit their 40+ programs they have running.

I do realize that under OSx, running programs are on the right of the launcher bar. Is there also a list somewhere I can easily start exiting hordes of running programs?

Many thanks,

-T

Mac OS X (10.7.5)

And where exactly do you find Activity Monitor? I have a duo core intel based iMac running Snow Leopard. I've never seen any Activity Monitor anywhere.?

Or you can use LaunchPad, and search for it there.
