- I'm surprised not a lot of people talk about changing AmigaDOS. It has
- a couple things that would be better off gone (IMO)..
-
- 1) Snapshotting. It would be much better if the DOS would remember
- where you put things, like the rest of the icon-based DOS's do. To
- quote a friend of mine, "Snapshot my ass."
-
- 2) Window activation/depth. If windowA is behind windowB, and windowA's
- depth gadget is obstructed, it's kind of a hassle to move them around so
- you can change A's depth. Yes, it's lazy. :) It would be great if all
- you had to do was click on windowA's titlebar to activate it and bring
- it to the very front.
-
- That's basically it. :) Other than that, I love AmigaDOS. :) (this is
- 2.04, BTW). And of course, if any of the above problems can be fixed w/
- some PD/ShareWare program, let me know! Thanks.
