Actually Windows Explorer replaced File Manager. I don't believe it was
ever "part" of Internet Explorer. Up through ME you could still use File
Manager if you chose. The file manager in Wine is styled after File Manager.

Now, back to KDE 4.0.0

wonderful pre-release stuff. But anyway................

As for Dolphin, well............, to be truthful I kind of like it. OK,
OK, I know it's not perfect. There are things I would like to be
different. BUT, as I have made an effort to use it whenever possible and
learn it's funny little quirks, I find it pretty usable. I'm sure it
will evolve into a favorite if given the chance.

KDE/Konqueror. Well, I suppose I've ever only used a "3" release so I
can't really say which is better or worse. However, My better half says
I'm anal. When I do something I take great pains to get it RIGHT. From
what I see on this, and other lists, "I" would not have released KDE4 as
a "release" maybe an "rc". I think there are just to many things that
aren't completed yet.

Can any of the developers, and I DO appreciate all their hard work [ God
knows I can't do it so I can appreciate those that do ], Actually point
to KDE4.0.0 and say with REAL PRIDE and sense of ACCOMPLISHMENT, "I did
that." Would they want a HUGE billboard erected with their picture and
the words, "I helped build KDE4.0.0!"

OK, I'll shut up now and go back to lurking on this thread.
