I can't believe this BS!!! 25 Megs of Bloat Code and they still can't declare this thing stable. I HAD to give up on Netscrape 6.0 after my PC kept crashing into oblivion. I don't like MS or Internet Exploder, but it's a lot more stable and lets me get my work done.
I was a student at U of C between 82 and 87 and I have a lot of memories (good and bad) about the Multics system. My first programming course in FORTRAN used the Multics system. I remember how slow the system responded when it seemed liked everyone logged on and trying to finish their assignements. There was none of these candy-assed GUI's to make things 'easier'! You had to type those commands, dammit!
I couldn't agree more. I have worked as a financial analyst in the past and I can't believe the B.S. that many companies shovel out. (especially the so-called New Media nonsense that so much has been written about) Always remember two things: 1) The real things are still real and 2)You can get by on charm for about 15 minutes, after that, you better know something.
