Hmmm.  So is Seymour Cray an "idiot ... too STUPID to be CAPABLE of
using the PC"?  It seems that I recall his reason for using the Mac was
that he'd rather spend his time using his tools than figuring out how to
use them (or words to that effect).

(Sorry for the name dropping, but I really resent being called an idiot
because I prefer the Mac's interface, and Mr. Cray is a nice example of
a non-idiot who uses the Mac.)
