Jerry, I kindof felt the same way when I bought it, but after using it
awhile, I changed my mind.  It takes some getting use to.  As for the
graphics, using the colorswitch card, it was adequate for what I used
it for.  If you have a hd, there isn't much ibm software that you cannot
use.  I don't believe you will find many companies that own the rights to
distribute others system software.  The two inch manual is quite extensive,
and once you get thru it, you will find it not so confusing.  Give it a
chance before you write the nasty letter.  You might find you like it more
than you think.  :-)
