While appreciating your sentiments, I'm struggling with your
logic.  Macs certainly have a reputation for being nice to use
(whether earned or not, I cannot say) but surely much of that
comes from the software?  If the Bad OS Fairy were to sneak into
your home and load Win95 on your machine, displacing OS/2, would
it remain as "friendly"?  It'd be like your family pet catching
rabies.  <g>
