I could never get on with sunview (or open look) personally, it never matched the way I thought. But that's just me... It's a valid point, though - it's not immediately clear to me that modern desktop environments, for all their bloat, have actually advanced in terms of functionality, ease of use, or even eye candy (compiz being a relatively rare exception there). I wouldn't think of myself in luddite terms, but I think there's definite value at looking back a decade or two, because there was excellent work being done that we could learn a lot from. I would welcome other nostalgic stories! -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ desktop-discuss mailing list desktop-discuss@opensolaris.org
