[cctalk] Re: MS-DOS am I the only person who liked the win 3.1 UI?

Am i the ONLY person who preferred the win 3.1 user interface? Probably, since I have never seen one like it on linux, and everybody else complains about it. 1. I don't like "active anything" that pops up when I move the mouse one pixel further than I intended, or hides itself just as I am clicking on it so the click goes through to something behind, unintended. and don't get me started on when I am resizing and go one pixel past the edge, so it maximizes...across all my displays. sometimes takes me 3-5 attempts to resize one window to almost fill one physical display. i think the maximizing across multiple displays is only a winblows problem. 2. I could customize groupings in program manager: --this group is all things related to the newsletter I prepare monthly, including the actual document, background info, program to print it, browser with related information, etc. for the 3 days per month I work on it, and keeps out of my way the rest of the time. --or this group is only brought up in the spring, with items for planning my garden. but I might also bring it up briefly in the autumn when I see some special seeds I never heard about before. --the groupings helped for seldom used files/programs whose name I have trouble remembering...just bring up the group and it is there --program manager was always there when I wanted it, or got hidden when I didn't 3. file manager had features I maybe could find now but have not, such as --tiling *or* cascading several directories, and dragging files from one to another, harder to set up with tabs or multiple instances of file manager. --(maybe its fond memories, but I think I could) select several files and sort ONLY THEM, leaving the others unmoved, --sort on file extension, --sort with wildcards (probably can, just my ignorance?) --show date and time even for not the last 24 hour files (I think I did find such a file manager, but it lacked some other critical functions, or crashed all the time. two really big plusses afaik only in linux: --I can expand a subdirectory now without jumping completely to it, which win 3.1 could not do --also like that when attaching to an email, or opening, I can select from "recently used" another wish (for winblows or linux) if it was like Dos/win3.1, where you boot do a dos prompt, it would be nice if I could bring up the graphical interface with &, and then bring up a second one....maybe a different, one or with different options...especially now that I have multiple display adapters, a win 3.1 like UI on one monitor, and a current UI on on the other monitor, then from either drag application windows to a third monitor.
