I agree with the original posting, NOS/VE is the finest Operating System, and 
the fastest i've ever worked with. The Speed of the Full Screen Editor is 
incredible.

As to the statement that NOS/VE is slow.....the Operating System is the most 
customisable you'll find anywhere, our system was sluggish until we changed the 
some parameters to suit our site and viola! zip.....zoom.....!

We have a (NOS)/VE Dual State System too. I found the changeover very easy and 
user friendly.....conversion aids for everything....a very worthy successor.

Indeed.  NOS/VE is a remarkable operating system.  The only, truly 
insurmountable problem is: (two parts)

	a)  VE only runs on Cybers
	b)  Cybers (present-day) only run VE

Almost everything else is religion.  These two points are the only reason that
Cybers and VE will never, ever, nohow, noway make a significant dent on the
way people - in the widest sense - compute.

And it's a shame.
