I'm beginning to get the feel for another reason why Linux isn't mature enough (read static enough) for prime-time. With DOS I can take a program written in 1980 and use it now on the latest DOS. I can also take the latest DOS application and run it on DOS 3.3. With Windoze and Linux neither of the above will work due to an entirely different philosophy. Sell them something new tomorrow AND make damn sure they have to buy something ELSE to run it ! Static isn't bad. Old isn't bad either, but I can see that after a LONG run, a change may be an improvement. As long as it is a change to a mature product without designed in obsolescence. DOS is dead. Windows is only imitating life. Linux (Unix) has been around along time, but it has cancer. IMO, the final answer lies elsewhere. - Clarence Verge - Back to using Arachne V1.62 ....
