I agree with Glenn's opinion of today's "software". I would like to add my .02. Having programmed on the old Z80 based TRS80 with 4k and then 16k to work on, I have just gotten tired of trying to keep up with the hardware. It seems the more I learned about the machine's capabilities, the faster the machine changed. The sooner my programs became obsolete. I just got tired of relearning a new operating system to find it out of date in a couple short months. For this reason, I welcome UNIX. BUT... I have been handicapped by UNIX simply because it cannot use the total environment available to it. This, i think is due to the inability of the current generation of programmers to look at the whole picture of what is to be done, and what may be requested of the routine.
