and GDI resources. </DIV>
<DIV>Is this built into the current computer standard (IBM clones), or is it a
Windows issue? If it is a problem with the design of computers, then at some
point we are going to have to trash the current IBM base computer model with the
640k base memory workaround and the 64k maximum allowable system, user, and GDI
resources. If it is Windows, then when are they going to fix it?</DIV>
<DIV>Also, is this a problem with Macs?</DIV>
<DIV>I guess I'm just getting very annoyed, looking for alternatives, and not
finding what I would like to see. Why is it that the most popular computer
system is rife with so many archaic vestiges which are useless? When will this
change?</DIV>
<DIV>OK. I'm done venting now. I feel much better. Thanks!</DIV></BODY></HTML>
