DOS was nice, yes. But, I do not believe that modern day, with all the non-saavy users out there that have a computer in their households, can survive without an OS that uses a graphical interface. Take Linux, for example. Distro such as Ubuntu are getting a lot of attention, but = mainly due to the fact that they're making it visually appealing to Windows users... very similar on the GUI. Unix in its raw form could never = attract the same crowd. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ SirTroth ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ICQ: 1717439 ~ YAHOO: SirTroth ~ SKYPE: SirTroth ~ XFIRE: SirTroth ~ AIM/AOL: SirTrothX ~ http://ut2004.sirtroth.com ~ MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx (For MSN Chat) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =A0 -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Matt Moceri Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 9:01 AM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=3DPCTechTalk=3D- Re: Gman - little favor It took me many years to upgrade to windows.
