Ah, the good ol' days... Lordy!! How could I have forgotten Desqview??? See?? Stuff like that could be ported to linux and I'd kiss Xorg goodbye. (except for the space games, gotta have space games!!) In my BBS days Desqview was the ultimate sysop app. God, I'm feeling mortal now... <sigh> my impending doom must be close at hand when Desqview is a vaguely remembered relic of my illustrious past. I'll forget about women next, and then I'll forget about that thing called lunch. Somebody just shoot me now.
