i keep hearing (really reading) that x and the whole x system is bad. (maybe it was just x as a gui, which i happen to like.) for instance, someone's sig compares x to ms-dos, (and ms-dos to some other poor item. not saying that ms-dos is bad, it was just a transitive argument. a=b, b=c, therefore a=c. modus ponens, type of deal. no opinion on this from me.) so anyone have anything to say about this. i'm pretty ignorant to this thing, and any insight would be great, pro or con. i would like to hear from both camps on this. please, e-mail me, since i don't want to start a flame war on this. thanx in advance, /marciano marciano@vitalink.com vitam6!marciano@uunet.uu.net ...uunet!!vitam6!marciano disclaimer: noun. 1. a denial or disavowal of legal claim: relinquishment of or formal refusal to accept an interest or estate. 2. a writing that embodies a legal disclaimer.

Someone who says X is bad is most likely someone who has spent (wasted?) a lot of time learning something else first. --Phil Howard, KA9WGN-- | Individual CHOICE is fundamental to a free society <phil@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu> | no matter what the particular issue is all about.
