I wouldn't've objected to this post if you had left out the word "fool."
In my reply (I haven't read more than one other), I did NOT knock Windows,
I simply stated a suggestion to get this guy's computer to run right. I
happened to state my opinion that DESQview is better than Windows.

A lot of people would agree with me. And a lot of people would agree with
you. There is no way to determine, prove, etc, that either multi-tasker
is better than the other, or that either GUI (actually, technically,
DESQview has no GUI, which is part of the reason why I prefer it) is
better, or that any particular facet of one is better than the other.

If you even THINK of replying to this, do it in one of the several
philosophical newsgroups so that you can be properly flamed.
