Why make your IBM act like a Mac?

I've been reading a lot of messages lately from people that want their IBMs
to act like Macs.......and now I have to deal with Microsoft Word for
Windows so I can use my mouse with my word processor.  I'm getting tired of
this.  If I want to draw, or run CAD,  or play games,  I'll use my mouse.
Please stop trying to make my mouse run my system (Windows),  stop trying
to make my word processor look like it's Mac counterpart.  I bought a PC
because I wanted a command line.  I wanted arrow keys.  I wanted to
compute.  I didn't buy it to click.  If you want to click,  go to
comp.sys.mac,  if you want to compute,  be satisfied that you don't have a
nice gif in the background of your shell

Minor flame,
