   Dunno what you are talking about. OS/2 has a GUI just like Windows,   
   at least since Warp 3. I wasn't fully happy with v3 but I'm happy now   
   with Warp 4. Many operations are started faster with keyboard input   
   rather than running around in circles with the mouse pointer. This goes   
   for Windows too. I do have XP on my older lap-top.   
      
   BTW, I started with v2.0 and progressed through the various versions   
   to where I'm now.
