 Hello to you all , 

   I have to say a few words to clear some things up here , 
   our debate about X and windows is not about the application 
   but is about the the enviroment. (GUI flexability and so ...).

   when people wrote tcp/ip protocols (and OSI standards) they wrote it 
   in the layre concept, DO YOU KNOW WHY ?

   I will not explain here the reason for the saperate modouls, but just 
   that it gives a huge flexability of the product . 
 
   I would like to say that I agree with every word said about how it is 
   hard to study X system and How it is hard to start program it and its
   GUI. 

   BUT - (and there is allways a BUT) -  We sohuld remember who we are ,
   and we are system administrators , programers and advenced users , 
   some of us are GURUS and others are WIZARDS , as some of us are newbies.

   Is SIMPLE is what we are looking for  ?
   Is that is how we choose our enviroment ?
   
   When I design a network - I do it with POWER , when I design a GUI i like 
   to do it with NO LIMITS. windows 3.x HAS ITS LIMITS .
   
   95 - is better then the 3.x but still it misses the pwoer that X gives us by
   beeing so flexiable . 
 
   it cost me preformance  - I KNOW !

    GOOD THINGS DO COST SOMHTING.


   It is not a question of Which is better , and this is where I was WRONG .
   It is a question of what will I need , and what does the application need.

   USING X makes it easy on a multi platform enviromant , while using MS-WIN ,
   makes it easy on the programer. and that is IT !


                                    SHABAT SHALOM !
