Follow up comp.windows.misc. PLEASE.

Windows do not imply Icons (Smalltalk doesn't have icons. Imagine that).

Icons do not imply windows (Plato doesn't have windows or a mouse. It has
Icons. Imagine that).

Just remember this. Windows are a good idea. Icons are a good idea. Each in
their own domain.

I think windows are more generally useful. I have abandoned the icon interface
to my Amiga and written a text/window interface that provides much the same 
functionality.

BUT, windows != icons.
