- During the rare case I type 'loadwb' I find myself stuck waiting for
- window to open and display a directory, this take FOREVER! how hard
- is it to get a dir list and display it as plain text(I do not use icons BTW)
- Now scrolling in that list is hell... it jump here there, bugy, buggy
- slow crap. I guess thats why the idea of realtime scrolling was not
- even included, sad. Whats actually funny is that the guy that wrote
- intuition /WB had a HUGE ego about beying a god or something and he
- produce the worse crap ever. (rj.michael I think was the guy name)
- (I notice all that with 3.1 with a 4color WB with 32bit chipmem and

- AT should drop the WB, and not add/bug fix functions, its a very bad
- peice of software...
-
- AT should also fix RJ design in not letting window go outside the screen
- bounds... I wont ask for a total intuition rewrite, even if I would
- apreciate it alot.
