Ah, then you know how aggrivating it can be to get a call from a customer who just moved up to a Windoze machine from an old XT, and she wants to know why it takes so long for her to print from MS Word. "It never took this long on my XT," they say. After unsuccessfully trying to explain it to them, I have finally come up with one thing to say: "M'am/Sir, welcome to MicroSoft." And, yes, I do say it. :-\ Most of my coworkers don't understand me. I'm the quiet type, never really asking much from anyone. I know computers because it's my hobby, and I've been around the best one since they were using '286's 🙂 They were amazed at how fast I picked up on OS/2, thats why that made me the OS/2 guru. I know OS/2 has Rexx, but it really isn't being implemented very well (a few recent applications are trying it, however). OS/2 itself isn't being supported very well; but from what I've seen when it was released, it may change. You are right about networking, it is everywhere in the PC world now. Serious R&D needs to go into Amiga networking. It may be what saves our machine fom doom. I think the Amiga would be much better for networking than PC's; it's operating system is much more logical for it. Of course, a laptop would be a big plus :^) Rick Green Via AutoPilot
