Important
though is I like tinkering with them much like people tinker
with old cars. There is a strong nostalgic effect playing with them. I
wish I still had my C-64 and Amiga 1000 and 3000.
I wish I could do with DCOP what I could with the Amiga's
inter-application ports. (It's not that DCOP doesn't provide such an
interface, but that TDE applications don't provide much in the way of
user-level commands; e.g. YAM allows one to easily navigate mail folders,
switch mail items, etc.; there are no similar commands in Kmail's DCOP
interface, mostly they are involved with manipulating windows, not their
contents; and in KDE and TDE there is no information about DCOP
capabilities in applications' handbooks, so it's very hard to figure out
how to do much with DCOP.
I disagree here, in kdcop you should see the applications and there
interfaces. It depends on the application what functionality is exposed to
dcop.
