And which Desktop OS has any security at all other than Windows NT and
Unix variants?

Neither DOS, Windows 3.x, MacOS, OS/2, nor Windows 95 have any
security.

Which of DOS, Windows 3.x, MacOS, OS/2, or (just for the sake of argument)
AmigaDOS has built-in code for reporting the contents of your hard disk
to the Evil Emperor?

Perhaps the Aussie experts have come to a modus vivendi with the security
problems of the other desktop OS's.

So I'm just a little fuzzy here, is it windows 95 or linux that
runs on an old Teletype dmd terminal? Does it only run on the 
5620 or does it run on 630's and 730's too? Heavy Sacasm Mode off...

Don't continue to cross post to the world, I accually own a 730 and
I only want to read this group if there is something in it that 
actually applies to the terminals this group is here for. Edit
the damn newsgroup line!!!!

I cut your newsgroup and emailed you in this response.  I'll try
to remember to check the newgroups when I post a reply -- I cannot
