I still prefer DOS! User-friendly graphical interfaces are gimmicky and annoying to me. DOS was fast. In my opinion, the effort to make things simpler led to making the operation of a PC slower and more complex. I never liked this point&click crap...I lose stuff in all these damn folders all the time. The Windows environment is like a cluttered office desk to me, while DOS is like a file cabinet -- simple and efficient. Style, This is one of the reasons there is a find file built into the Mac operating system. Also, one may view files as a list sorted by any type order removing the folders, etc. It is a matter of preference. Speed is an interesting issue. It seems the storage device (hard drive) is now the current bottleneck. Glenn
