- Since I had been using a gazillion command-line tricks and apps, I got a
- copy of DESQview. If I had had turned down the other aisle at the store,

- fun at Windows. BUT!!!! Now I have (drum roll, please)... LINUX, a
- freely-distributable Unix clone. Runs cnews, smail, x-windows, etc.,
- *AND* Waffle. Eight virtual consoles, etc.
