Somebody asked an innocent question:"How to copy&paste?"... You may call it a progress, if a destop OS needs that much processing power to do what's been done for over a decade before. The only way to sell it is to wrap it in new clothes to cover... I was talking about the end result as an end-user not as a theorist who never actually worked in my environment. It's a commercial OS and the market will be the final judge. Yes, "it takes all kinds"...of tools...like NexT perhaps? Where is it? Progress, my ass...nothing but demagoguery from an authority to justify 2CPU and a pile of RAM to finally copy&paste? You giving me fits, Moysha...beter go and fix that ftp server of yours. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
