- What exactly is your idea of a 'proper' operating system, CP/M, MS-DOS, or
- some other crippled OS? You failed to mention one. No OS I've seen from the
- micro to mainframe level has the elegance and power that UNIX has. Opinion,

- it was a waste of time, I'd ask for some of yours.

- degenerating thread.
