Yeah, FreeWin95 seems cool, but what we need is a cool OS that actually 
works.  We need it to take up less memory.  And we need it to make full 
use of the computer's processing power.  Linux works well at this, but 
let's face it: Linux is a joke when it comes to the end user.  Who wants 
to fool around editing /etc/* files when they can just use the Control 
Panel?  Now, perhaps this idea seems a little funny, but how about 
taking Viewmax and making it the base for an OpenDOS GUI?  We can even 
port apps to it, useful apps.  I think the only useful app that runs 
under Viewmax is Ventura draw, or something like that.  I see some 
potential here!
