On 26-Jan-00, Kolbj�rn Barmen was heard muttering:

KB>> Do they mean having to use third-party software to toggle some hidden
KB>> switches to force the OS to use FAST Ram for icons and etc?

KB> Yes.

DOES seem a tad cheesy, IMHO.

KB>> Argh! The OS3.5 does not have an "integrated" TCP/IP stack. It simply
KB>> comes with a TCP/IP stack that is optional. Hardly call that
KB>> integrated.

This is better than having a specific TCP/IP stack rammed down our throats
(ala Windows). Although it should have been an unlimited version.

KB>>> o Printer.device is improved
KB>>> - 24-bit output

That why the dither on my 360x360dpi inkjet is so grainy?

KB>>> - More printer drivers
KB>>> - Faster

KB>> "More printer drivers"? Sure if you are the proud owner of an HP
KB>> printer, otherwise you are stuck with the old OS3.1 drivers.

KB> Uhm, you dont have a HP printer like the rest of us?

Not me. I have a Canon BJC-250.
