True. But IBM's choice for the default behavior is illustative

Wrong, wrong, wrong.
The American constitution is about equality of OPPORTUNITY to make
your best effort, and take full advantage of it.
Marxism is about equality of outcome, REGARDLESS of your effort.

How about a default behavior that is appropriate for 99+% of users,
rather than tailoring it for 1-% of users?

Insane behavior should not be the default.

4 separate facilities, NONE OF WHICH had sane defaults.

Are you really a shithead, or do you just play one on USENET?
It's NOT a question of flexibility, dumbass, it's a question of
what the DEFAULT settings are.
Why should I, or any other user, be required to give special instructions
to make the editor behave in a rational manner?

EAs on HPFS drives?? A reboot every week or two will refresh the

Disk fragmentation is a cumulative process whereas the WPS issues
you alledge are either refreshed with a periodic reboot or do not
exist in the first place.

Yes, it is.
Routine batch-processing jobs (like data collection and report generation)
is something that I can routinely accomplish with 15-120 minutes
of script programming, and then a mere couple of SECONDS to type
the command thereafter.
Meanwhile, in LoseDOS land, the same task will continue to take
several HOURS of my time EVERY WEEK.
If this is your idea of "not hard", you're using a different dictionary
than the rest of us.

ICQ # 3056642
H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (C) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.
