- Right on Bro!!!
-
- Would anyone out there in net-land
- flame me for suggesting that the
- above above BOZO has never had to install
- or maintain a UNIX system. Unix may be
- good if you have someone else to keep
- it going for you (i.e. the systems manager)
- but try installing it!!! At least DOS is relatively simple but -
-
- In Summary:-
-
- UNIX sucks, DOS sucks, Windows NT sounds
- like it SUCKS. In the not to distant future,
- I will be finding out is OS2 sucks the hard way.
- OS2 may be the only way to utilize a PC poperly.
-
- Any suggestions on OS2 whether it is worth trying out.
