[techtalk] request for ideas

[Jim Browning]

Sorry, but I disagree. Having played with DOS, Win 3.1, Win 3.11, Win95,
Win98, C, C++, Visual C++ and Visual Basic, rebuilt several computers from
the motherboard up, and installed more drivers and configured more dip
switches (remember them?) than I care to count, the idea that an operating
system has to be told that a disk has been inserted into a drive is strange,
at the least. I'm planning on looking at (installing, etc.) Linux. It would
appear Linux has quirks that would not be apparent to those coming at it
from a personal computer angle (as contrasted with the Unix angle).
