I doubt that Easy Access has done much for Apple's market share.  I can
tell you first hand that Easy Access makes using a computer much easier
for some people, me included.  I am disabled and type with a stick in
one hand, making "control escape shift #" combinations a real pain in
the *ss.  I bough my MacII last summer because I liked the system, I'd never
even heard of Easy Access (the salesman never mentioned it either).  I'm
very happy with the Mac and features like Easy Access make it a pleasure to
use.  I'd rather use the Mac than the Sun workstation in my office (anyone
at Sun out there want to remedy this situation).  I know Apple bashing
popular but I'd like to thank Ed Tecot, so ease up Dick Merchant.
