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.
