Re: Bill Gates Wins, AS/400 Users Loose

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck,

Why switch back to a terminal?  Why fear losing stuff when coding?  SEU is 
great everytime you hit enter or roll or just about anything it saves your work 
into a temporary file.  When you get back into your code you'll get a message 
that it was interrupted and would you like your work back.  Most PC based 
programs only save on a time interval basis.

Ira, I agree !

Win doze (that is what spell check in Netscape changes Windoze to <BG>...) 95 is
a JOKE in the workplace; it MIGHT be OK at home, I don't know.
I'm running NT 4.0 on a Toshiba notebook and LOVE it - as LONG as you have LOTS
of memory (I'm running 144mb) !!!

On my new job I have several PC's to play with and one has 95 on it and it is
CONSTANTLY locking up...

NO THANKS ! I LOVE C/A and being able to cut and paste AS/400 stuff, but I find
myself CONSTANTLY saving anything I do for fear that it will lock up and loose
everything. I ACTUALLY (for now - until I get a new notebook and get it 
connected
to the AS/400) have reverted BACK to a TERMINAL for most of my coding work !
Arghhh...
