Re: DesqView and XyWrite



Actually, JB might well be experiencing a video card problem also
-- some people are finding that funky video cards are not
keeping up with the computer in graphics intensive GUIs like
OS/2, windoz, and Open Look, The computer switches windows, but
it takes overly long for the screen to be re-written. There are
major differences between video cards, and many of those which
are supposed to be "accelerated" etc, -- aren't. Or don't work
right, or only work with windoz, and not with OS/2 or Unix. And
it's absolutely amazing what people get sold when they buy
computers these days, especially if they buy them at Best Buy,
American TV, etc. Even companies like Gateway and Compaq have
become rather sleazy (Gateway very sleazy -- Compaq very sleazy
in their low end stuff) so the best way is to buy the pieces and
put them together yourself -- then you know what you are
getting.
