X: On the Road to Nowhere 141X: On the Road to Nowhere ......................................................
X is just so stupid, why do people use it? Beats us. Maybe it’s because they
don’t have a choice. (See Figure 2)
Nobody really wants to run X: what they do want is a way to run several
applications at the same time using large screen. If you want to run Unix,
it’s either X or a dumb character-based terminal.
Pick your poison.
