Anyone who honestly believes that MSDOS is not a steaming pile, probably also believes in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Comparing MSDOS to UNIX is like comparing an old VW Bug to a new Porsche. Now, if you want to make the arguement that most people only need Bugs, that's a different discussion. -- Gerry Roston (gerry@cs.cmu.edu) | Society is produced by our wants, Field Robotics Center, | and government by our wickedness;...
