    Linux may need a better desktop, but this is too little too late. Motif worked fine and now both it and Lesstif are free. Why are we reinventing the wheel again and again, KDe, Gnome, now this new crap?

    It should look like Windows.

    I think a LinuxUser looks like a fat guy in a stained penguin t-shirt calling me a "l4m3r."

    If it's anything like Linux User, then it's fat, ugly, and has bad teeth.

    I would like to add that, after the conversation, Steve and I wound up in a hotel room drunk off our asses. One thing led to another, and well ... let's just say there was a "code merge."

    Things turned ugly after that, and now he won't even return my calls. I guess he felt guilty, but I believe in the passion of the moment.

    Since it will probably meet the same, unsupported, uncaredfor fate as OS/2.
