  22.     Well, this is probably pretty useless to post, but I find that I *like*
  23.     openlook.  It's a little slow, but with enough memory, its pretty
  24.     good, and I find the control layout for regular xterm-type windows
  25.     to be far better than Motif's.  I always kept hitting that
  26.     damn big square in motif and getting full-screen xterms, which are
  27.     pretty useless. I like to double click and have a full-height
  28.     but still 80 column window.  
  29.  
  30.     I think that some of the sliders and toys are annoying, but I don't
  31.     use any apps that use them.  They *look* really good though. 
  32.     I found Motif to be fairly cluttered, and that slowed me down
  33.     more than anything.
