Actually, Lee speaks for me, and well. I, too, think linearly (?) and type
reasonably fast. Also, I have been using DOS from birth and find the
details of Windows just a nuisance. But I must say I like being to able
to flip from one application to another -- even between DOS boxes. This
makes Windows (or OS/2 if I could get the @#$%^&*() thing to work...)
worthwhile.
