The Apple //gs has a better interface then a '386 Model 50 with Windows 3.0 Even at a pathetically slower processor speed, the GS rivals Windows in managing the desktop (redrawing backgrounds, cleaning up the screen, focus, even resolution!). Windows is fat and clumsy compared to the GS Finder. Windows is not very logical in its operation, difficult to follow, much too complex for those tiny IBM VGA screens, and for a screeming 386 machine, damn! but it's slow! Give me a GS over that thing any day. It's just too bad Apple (with the noted exception of the DTS group) doesn't support us. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |Jeremy Mereness | Support | Ye Olde Disclaimer: | |jm7e+@andrew.cmu.edu (internet) | Free | The above represent my| |a700jm7e@cmccvb (Vax... bitnet) | Software | opinions, alone. | |staff/student@Carnegie Mellon U. | | Ya Gotta Love It. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
