I have a question for thos who dislike X:

	What have they developed thats better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to agree that X windows is not a perfect piece of software engineering, but its the
best we currently have available that will work on almost any hardware. It is always
much easier to be a critic  than it is to produce something thats better. 

My hat is off to those at MIT that have produced a usable window environment! It may not
be perfect, but can you claim that the code that you write is?
