- Neither of those two exist for more than 5 years, so the point is
- moot. 10 years ago a UNIX desktop system was just a dream - it was
- serial terminals connected to a central big iron all the way.
- X on a desktop UNIX workstation was just a dream back then. Dialup
- networking via SLIP etc. wasn't invented in 1986 yet.

- In those 10 years technology has progressed a lot, unfortunately
- human intelligence of the average USA male seems to stay halted at
- a prehistorically low level. Most are afraid to use words of 3 syllables
- or sentences longer than 10 words. It's a real wonder to me those apes
- run the computer industry !!
