Okay I really enjoyed this. Well written and entertaining. I was at the time on the other end of this, with OS/2 where everything really was an object you could do stuff with. Need a printer, open templates and drag off a printer one, fill in some info. I really liked the WPS in OS/2. Some of the stuff you cannot do even today. Moved on to Solaris and IRIX (I know, I was doing that internet thing at an ISP) and then NeXTStep. Hey Apple I want the damn NeXT shelf back!
