following up a message from Jean-Michel Dossogne to Holger Granholm:

 JD> Hello Holger.

 HG> Yes Warp is very good but OTOH Win3.11 is the most stable Windows GUI
 HG> that I have ever used after I increased environment space to 768.

I assume you are speaking of WINDOWS under OS/2, because WIN3x is the only GUI 
OS I know of that is more unstable, and screwed up than WIN95.  

 HG> Like a german magazine put it; Windows 3.11 seems more and more like
 HG> the VolksWagen among operating systems. It just runs and runs and
 HG> runs......

WIN95 is useable, WIN3x is a blight, an accident waiting to happen.  Whatever
German mag said this has been smoking some BAD WEED!

 JD> that's probably why his owner wants to kill it.... if it's
 JD> too stable, they don't like :)

The owner kills everything, right from the start. MS has not yet succeded in
creating a good, stable, flexable, configurable, robust, worthwile OS.  

 HG> However, that operating system statement is wrong, it's only a 
 HG> GUI on top of DOS.
 JD> as long as it is a good pc-dos :)

That can't be, there is no, and never was, a "good" PC-dos.  MS OS's sometimes 
work, and you can actually do some stuff with them, but thats about it.  Like
a man on his death bed, with massive heart desease, cancer ridden body, kidney 
failure, yet still breathing... he is alive, but not by much.  Ask the guy a
question, you might get a good answer, you might get jibberish.  MS OS's are
very similer, they are alive, but only using broad definitions of alive.

 HG> But I won't touch Win9x even with pliers.

Some of us have to, the world is polluted with MS junkware.  But WIN95 at
least is better than WIN3x, like the guy on his death bed above, without the
kidney failure... He can still piss on you when you aint looking though.

 JD> I do. But I'm inconscious & love The Great Adventure.

Some people like going to war, some people hate it, but do it because they
have no choice.
