That was my reaction to WPDOS 6.0 and is why I'm still using 5.1+
(with the Windows folks at work using WPW 5.2).

We've now had automobiles for over 100 years; and the controls on a
1996 model have little resemblance to those on a Model T.  My dad
got a new Escort a year ago; and it took me a long time to get used
to where things were on it.  (We had to ask the dealer where it was
to find the dashboard light intensity control.)

I scanned our logo and the boss' signature so we can generate forms
with the logo and he doesn't have to personally sign "unimportant"
routine correspondence.
