Hi Thorsten, how different people can be :-) I *hated* DOS from the very first moment I noticed it. I would *never* have abandoned my old Atari ST if not for some user interface still being somewhat stupid, but at least *slightly* better than stoneage (=DOS), named Windows 3.1. And even WIN 95 is still far from *user* *usability*. As a user I am *not* *at* *all* interested even in knowing what a printer driver is. The problem is that all the time these funny programmers with their unbelievably small horizon for everyday computing force me to care about their never ending bullshit all the time. And if any, DOS definitely is no user interface at all, but simply a form of some silly programmer's sickness, not more than a disease invented by those who obviously never asked any user what he wants and deserves. At least they shurely did not ask me ;-) Maybe it would be a nice task for programmers to invent something even coming somewhat closer to a user interface which doesn't cause massive problems nearly each and every day and just works fine with soft- and hardware. "What you describe is paradise and not earth", programmers will answer... So: At least we are starting to leave this really incredible bullshit called ~DOS~ which seems to have been designed from sick brains for sick brains - keeping all the shit 'running in the family' ;-) So at least *maybe* we don't have to care for Neanderthal DOS any more finally after WIN 2023 - sigh... (like Bob I *hate* the days my sons want to install a new DOS-game arghhhh...) Maybe even someone invents a system which shows some kind usability? This would really be a gag! I mean something that can be *used* - excuse the revolutionary vision... Maybe a big step for intelligent programmers but a big step for mankind as well... :-) Being so terribly sick from what so many programmers use to offer all of us all the time... Kind regards from Dirk
