THEN came the Apple Classic. I loved the Apple for it's ease and cheapness...but I worked in DOS and NOVELL mostly through the rest of the 80's - only occasionally getting a whiff of XENIX and SCO (how nice it was) - OS/2 was making waves and gaining strength - with a really nice GUI...THEN came Winders and eventually Winders 3.0, 3.1, 3.11...OS/2 ran my BBS with 16 modems - Winders couldn't deal with 1. SCO was still ranking high on the list, but was expensive - so OS/2 was the next best thing. Then DesqView came along - then DesqView/X - which nicely fit into a UNIX environment but ran on a PC...wow...then the marketing crap hit the fan, and Win95 blew out OS/2 Warp3, DesqView/X died a quiet death (but is still available) and since then we've been dominated by Winders.
I've found more problems with Windows than with *NIX in the long run. Most of the hardware issues I run across are mainly due to the fact that the hardware was built for Windows and nothing else. Sad but true. Other than that, back when I first loaded RedHat and Slackware (1993/1994) the only thing UNFRIENDLY about it was that you had to READ THE FRIGGING MANUAL and the INSTRUCTIONS...but some of the public just don't wanna do that (hence, they pay me and other techs to do it for 'em). Each OS has it's pitfalls...no matter what. I'd still rather have COMPLETE control over MY system and OS - so linux is my fave...I run Winders cuz I HAVE to - else I wouldn't at all... ...ah well, I'll jump offa the soapbox and get back to my Sawfish issue... -- Fri Nov 8 13:40:00 EST 2002 -------------------------------- | __ __ | | / \ /| |'-. | | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | | | / \__.`=._) (_ |kuhn media australia | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| |http://kma.0catch.com | |'. `\ | | |stephen kuhn | ;"""/ / | | |email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| |mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " | -------------------------------- Life is a game.
