- I feel this way too. I've had a similar problem. Not quite as terrible,
- but I've had to use *.ini utilities....
-
- I think IBM should seriously improve the WPS in all ascpects (use and
- feel--not that it's bad, it's wonderful, but let's face it. Changing
- the icon for a object shouldn't take as many steps as it does, etc.;
- and "under the hood") because aside from it's pre-emptiveness, and all
- of the technical mumbo-jumbo which makes it cool, the WPS is one of
- the best things going for it. Once you learn to use it, everything else
- is totally inferior....
-
- just my HO.
