- If you don't mind turning off the radio, stopping the car, and hooking up
- the steering wheel when you want to turn. Using a DOS machine is sort of
- like driving one of the early cars, where you basically had to reassemble
- the gearbox to change gears. Windows is like moving up to a Model-T with
- a gearshift pedal on the floor.

- If you're running UNIX you're not running a PC any more. It's a mini, no
- matter what the hardware.

- Right, manual transmission, with no synchromesh. Double-clutching through
- the DOS and Windows emulators for ALL your apps.
