Those Unleashed book are good. What you have probably just deals with DOS
and M$ OSes. Some of us have had experience with many other OSes that are
much better and have many more capabilities that you won't find in DOS or
WINDOZE.

We probably get a little out of the DOS area sometimes and may be confusing
for some people.
