  The  ultimate  evolution  of  an  operating  system  is  an  integrated
  graphical user interface. NT  was written this way from  the bottom up,
  not as an add-on. (I wont  name any names, including windows 3.1!!!) NT
  comes with lots  of features all built  in.  NT has a  large company to
  support thier product, and  gee whiz- you can go to  the store down the
  street  and buy  more  programs to  run  on it!!!!   NT  is just  plain
  practical compared to  the other OS solutions  available, and technical
  issues aside,  ease of  use is  VERY VERY important  in the  real world
  people!!!

  can you dig it???

don't like it), and I'll be more than happy to try it.  (c:

Be happy...
