     Have you guys seen any of the Unix GUI's available??? Open Look is quite
a beautiful thing, and Sun seems to be taking over the engineering world.
 
     I think Unix will be with us quite a lot longer. It's a piece of
antiquated crap as far as design is concerned, but it's going to be here fore
a while.
     The direction we'll have to move with Unix and other operating systems is
into a message-passing scheme similar to what Mach has tried to implement and
QNX already does.
