   Hi August!   
      
   31 Mar 2019 20:56, from August Abolins -> Martin Foster:

    AA> Yes..  absolutely.   
   Indeed   
      
    AA> But there is something about the console-look that just seems   
    AA> backward-looking.   
      
   From your point of view ;)   
      
    AA> My brain is saying "we ought to be able to do much better than that by   
    AA> now".  lol   
      
   My brain says why do so many things get less efficient over time ;)   
      
   But I like OpenXP, Golded and WinPoint.   
   WinPoint is without source and extremely buggy.   
   OpenXP is originally written for Zerberus (?) and Fido is bolstered on.   
   Golded needs a dedicated tosser and mailer (that is not necessarily a bad   
   thing ...)   
   But all of them have their advantages.
