END NOTE BEGIN FLAME Once again, NeXT Software Development decides what's best for the user community without consulting them first and providing NO means for returning to the ORIGINAL behavior without requiring thrid-party intervention. From a user's perspective, calling NeXTSTEP a GUI is insulting! NeXT, WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS WRONG!!!! Start listening to the users; consult with consumers; advocate OPEN relations. And start NOW! END FLAME --Felix P.S. Lately, there's been a lot of talk/rant about hardware ergonomics (i.e., keyboard feel, etc.), has anyone ever thought about software ergonomics, particularly the Graphical USER (hint) Interface area?
