As a freshman CS student? Granted things were changing rapidly in the 90s, but this wasn't the case my freshman year a couple of years prior. I know that I was aware of the concept of threading by my sophomore or junior year, and by the time I graduated had encountered them first hand. I'm not sure we even covered multitasking (fork() and friends) at all in my freshman year, but of that I'm far less certain.
