Yah, but for people who only use the computer as a *tool* in their business and don't care about the OS so much, it would be nice to have a consistent standard since they don't have the time to be worrying about whether it runs in DOS or Windows. That is, since most of the world (like it or not) is using some form of Windows, most business people have gotten used to the GUI interface. If computer programs evolved the way that hardware has, then most programs would be very "black-box" and people would not have to worry as much. Developing a program that doesn't work this way is just added confusion when the update would not be too difficult to program. Cheers, Grant
