I agree!  Amazon strongly antagonized me when they patented that one-click idea
and then went to court to bar others from using the one-click idea.  I never did
business with them and don't intend to start now.

Steve, how do you find Cheapbytes as to quality?  They have some things I might
be interested in.

How do you get along without a DOS partition?  Is it all Linux?  I need a lingua
franca file system that both OS/2 and Linux can communicate with, also need to 
be able to run DOS-based mail and news programs.  And I think PICTVIEW for DOS
can view greater variety of graphics formats than I can view in OS/2.
