My ISP seems to have missed a couple messages again.  :-/

Anyways, there are a bunch of things, many are quite minor, but they
tend to get under my skin from time to time.

I really hate having to fight with an operating system to get things
set up the way I want only to find that the operating system keeps
changing them to what it seems to think is best and which usually
doesn't work.  This is in reference to adding hardware and configuring
IRQ, DMA, I/O memory ranges and stuff.

Then there is stupid things like when I drag an icon from one folder
to another, I assume that it will move (or copy if it is to another
disk drive) the file but sometimes it simply makes a shortcut.  I had
this happen to me once and didn't realize that a shortcut had been
created before I deleted the original file.  I then went through heck
trying to undelete the file I had mistakenly deleted.  I did manage to
do it finally but that is an hour of my life I'll never get back.  Oh,
and I could just copy it back from my Recycle Bin because I have it
set to delete files immediately rather than having files that I don't
want hanging around taking up space on my hard drive.

Like I said there are lots of things but I'm not going to waste
people's time by listing them all here.  I am much more comfortable
using DOS 3.3, ProDOS and GS/OS on my IIgs.  They also have their
shortcomings but there are less of them and are much easier to handle
making the overall experience much nicer.
