XyWrite, it was simply too slow. I talked to Herb Tyson, who
gave me a bunch of config changes to make, which sped it up
considerably--but it was *still* slower in terms of the one
function I really care about--switching back and forth between
XyWrite, my dialer and my modem. DesqView is proving to be
instantaneous.

I *do* see how Os/2 will superior for many users. But not for me;
I don't need multi-tasking, I need a fast task switcher.

And I think I'm too old to get used to icons!
