I don't care to jump too far into this thread at this time, but thought I would make one comment… your last msg refer to a few of the improvements in 1.3 as 'fixes to poor initial designs' (or words to that effect). Which may in fact be true. But at the same most 'any' revision to 'any' software would/could be classified the same way. The basis behind releasing a version 'x' of software is that it fixes bugs and/or enhances the product over version 'x-1' (read: adds flexability/ power/whatever not incorporated into version 'x-1' due to "poor initial design"). I think this holds true for "WizBangWordProcessor" as well as an OS. I don't disagree with what you said, but it 'sounded' to me like you were implying that since they were _just_ fixes/improvements, they shouldn't have labeled it an "Official new OS". I too would like to have seen improvement in other areas, but if they have a better 'fix' for the filesystem and want to call it an official new OS, then that's ok by me… as long as I can get it (read: not have to wait for them to re-invent the WorkBench). – Keith "just passing through" Young
