	OK, there are a variety of everyday "activities" that take much
longer to accomplish on the Mac than on the PC.  I curse the Macintosh
far more than I curse the PC.  For the PC, you complain mostly about it
doesn't do.  For the Mac, I complain mostly about what it does do.  I
liked the Mac at first, now I absolutely loath and despise it.  Let's
face it: a command line is easier to write programs for, takes up less
memory (that's why IBM liked it) and once you know the secret (ah,
there's the rub), is much more efficient than heiroglyphics, which is
what icons really are.
