I'm not against window systems (I use X at home, of course) but only use it for xterm's and the only graphic application I use is Netscape. For me, the window system is a good mechanism to have more than one xterm in the screen, but some graphical applications (I mean those applications that force you to move the mouse and don't allow you to automate a task or use some applications cooperating together) really make me work slower. You can use ImageMagick to process some images while you go for a walk, or you can be a whole afternoon moving and clicking. the mouse :-) Borja. > -- ******************************************************************* Borja Marcos | Preferred: borjam@we.lc.ehu.es Alangoeta, 11, 1. izq. | Others: borjamar@mx.sarenet.es 48990 - Algorta (Vizcaya) | 100015.3502@compuserve.com SPAIN | CIS: 100015,3502 ****************************************************************** (c)1995 by the author.
