To get a directory upwards, you have to use the menu...
If you look closely, you'll notice that it has a directory entry for the parent directory, so, no you don't have to use the menu. It's not as convienent as a toolbar button, but still better than Be's FM.
I like Be (I'm using it right now), but there are still a few things (like above) that I don't like about the interface. By biggest gripe is that it opens a new window when you open a directory, instead of reusing the window you're in. In 4.5 you could hold down a certain key when opening a directory and it would reuse the window, but that appears to have been taken out of R5.
If you go back and read the original post, he said "profit," not "profit margin." You're the one who started throwing the "margin" part into it.
Although I'm sure it's not completely correct usage of economic terms, it's probably okay for us laymen to refer to the markup as the profit (gross profit, anyways).
I'm left to wonder, do they teach polite behavior in civilized society in the schools you attended?
I was dual-booting BeOS 4.5 and Win98. I upgraded my motherboard and processor (Intel/Asus to Athlon/FIC) and rebooted.
I went through the usual banter of dialog boxes and complaints you get from Windows when you make such a drastic change, having to cancel just about everything (it didn't recognize the CD-ROM, so I couldn't install the new drivers it wanted).
I then booted into Be. Not a peep. Nothing. As a matter of fact, the sound card I had been having trouble with started automagically working.
In the end, I had to reinstall Windows from scratch to get it stable.
The needs of the few do not outweigh the needs of the many, except in the minds of children and romantics.
Who's being the romantic here? That phrase expresses self-sacrifice, a cornerstone of romanticism.
Our country was founded on the concept of preserving freedom by protecting the needs of the few, not the many.
BTW, the "many" is primarily made up of close-minded, left-or-right-wing extremists who don't care about you or your needs, and would rather see you burn in Hell (or just die, depending on their religious beliefs), than give an inch. Personally, I rather enjoy what's left of my protection from those people.
One could also argue that since *NIX users are, generally, more competent than your average Windows user, they would not require as much technical support (if any at all) and would therefore be more profitable customers.
I'm not a big fan of MS (I use my Windows box only for gaming), but I have to admit that I like IE *way* better than Netscape. Netscape on my Linux box hangs all the time, plus it's awkward to use. Of course, even Netscape is a peach compared to some of the other web browsers for Linux. -joe-

We all know what the answer was, but just what, exactly, was the question?
How's this for adaptability:

That's funny. A few years ago, I had to edit the networking code in my Red Hat Linux distribution to get my 3c509 working.

Actually, I've heard that the most popular role will be Jar-Jar Hunter.

> Ah, yes. MS taking credit for the internet.
Al Gore will be upset.
