    HG> Dunno what you are talking about. OS/2 has a GUI just like Windows,   
    HG> at least since Warp 3.   
      
   The OS/2 that I installed, didn't have any GUI at all. It was like DOS   
   v3.2, which was IMO, much better than OS/2...   
      
    HG> I wasn't fully happy with v3 but I'm happy now with Warp 4. Many   
    HG> operations are started faster with keyboard input rather than running   
    HG> around in circles with the mouse pointer. This goes for Windows too.   
    HG> I do have XP on my older lap-top.   
      
   I already new basic and DOS commands and I wasn't into learning yet   
   another command set that was as strange to me as speaking in Arabic.   
      
    HG> BTW, I started with v2.0 and progressed through the various versions   
    HG> to where I'm now.   
      
   If anybody is interested my my copy of Red Hat, they have to take all of   
   the linux OS's too. They're free to the first comer.   
      
       Have a day!
