Ken Weiss asks: > Is it possible that the students' choice of Mac or PC is non-random? A better question: Did the Mac word processor used in the classes have a spelling checker? Or did the "computer literate" teachers just hand the Mac users an early version of MacWrite, not realizing that there was no integral spell checker? Another question: "Does the MS-DOS format inhibit the critical thinking facilities of college instructors?" It is reasonably obvious that this paper was not critiqued before release, or if it was, it was by people with a leaning towards DOS... C Irby
