Post #254,824 by Andrew Grygus 5/9/06 12:07:01 AM Reply	Alas, I know the screens all too well . . . . . even though we use only OS/2 in-house. I remember a client being here for something or other when I got a call from another client and walked that person up and down through the menus until their problem was solved. When I was done the one sitting here exclaimed, "My God, you did that without even looking at a computer!" Of course I can do the same with Linux, but only the command line since I rarely ever see a Linux GUI - the Linux desktop just isn't useful for my clients yet. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Post #254,837 by Andrew Grygus 5/9/06 10:37:41 AM 5/9/06 10:42:01 AM Reply	Yeah, like I've already forgotten about half what I knew . . . . about MP/M and Concurrent CP/M. Fortunately I've forgotten almost everything I knew about Apple DOS, but I didn't know all that much. I converted my Franklin to CP/M-80 with 8" floppy disks in just a few months.

I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't." — Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06
