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.
