I'm gonna take a wild leap; how many of the complainers have never seen a
command line OS (DOS, Unix) or worked w/ early GUIs (Windows 1.0/2.04g/3.x,
System 6.x/7.x)? None of those early OS's were simple either, especially if
you want to talk drivers. And sound...how many of you remember Adlib?
Being an old DOS guy dragged kicking and screaming into the Windoze world, I
find Linux to be somewhat of a pain to manipulate, but that's the Price of
Power. If ya don't like the heat, yadayada. OTH, it's only gonna get better,
and you can brag about your early trial-by-fire days.
Thanks for listening.
Pete
