I always thought the Motif version of smit was cute, with its "running man" progress indicator. If the command succeeded, the little man would stop running and signal "touchdown", but if it failed, he would fall on his face. You could even see the dust flying up where he hit.
smit wasn't letting me do that. couldn't find anything about max size, only allow large files. Eventually I found I could change the max size on the only file system that allowed large files, but only as root and as soon as I switched back to my normal user, the limit went back to default.
It was just one big mess. But then so is unix.
If you microphobic comic book guys hate MS so much, why not make an OS people would want to use instead of something older and more confusing Phylis Diller? (l)unix needs a top to bottom overhaul and a 21st century spin on what an OS is, instead of a 1968 on.
Spider-Man was great in the 1960's but he needed to be updated to bring to the big screen, ye ken? MS will continue to roar because they can at least offer people the illusion of what they want and all you comic book guys can say is "worst os ever" but we all know you're comic book guys and we just roll our eyes and double click on the icon that starts Doom3.
Ye are all bin playing ketchup for nearly a decade with your feared MS and by clinging to the past and living in fear, ye are only lagging further behind and isolating yourself from the people ye should be winning over is MS is the evil you claim it is.
l(unix) is for loons who like to read long, boring, uninformative man files. MS is for people who want to get stuff done and don't want to worry about swap space. I know ye wont ken, 'cause ye have yer original version of unix in a mylar bag on a shelf and wont even allow anyone to look at it, lest their gaze somehow penetrate the mylar and make yer precious less valuble, even though it is worthless.
