Interesting that even in 286 times computers were considered too
complicated for people and a model was made to make life easier for
them.
Nothing has changed in over 15 years of 'wow, progress!'

If Microsoft would invest only 5 minutes to make Windows boot 1/1000
second faster,
we would save 30 working hours worldwide every day.

only geos, using either the original motif interface (the BEST, imho,
for consumer pcs) or the implementation on the global pc ( a great
improvment on the standard windows interface), can make pcs easier to use.



"driveless computers" with multiple usb2 and firewire ports, designed
to use external high speed usb2 or firewire hard drives as the main
drive, have the potential to eventually break the microsoft monopoly of
the difficult + expensive to change "bolted inside the computer hard drive".

geos integrated with an os (as on the global pc -- talk about a better
than windows out of box experience!), preinstalled by oems on bootable
usb2/firewire mini external hard drives, makes it easy for enduseres to
change OSs.. just plug in and boot from a different hard drive!

hey, what better way to share a pc among family memebers.. everyone
gets their own geos based bootable external hard drive, and no one gets
that awful complexity of multiuser winxp and its bewildering directory
structure . familes would love to have multiple, easily removed and
stored external hard drives so the parents can keep their porn while
the kids get their neopets, and neither sees what's on the others' drives..

external geos based hard drives could easily be plugged into the usb2 or
firewire ports in modern windows pcs, making sharing of data files easy.




hard drive manufacturers would appreciate the driveless pc as it would
encourage the sale of multiple external hard drives per family, rather
than having families share just the one hard drive.
