Have you ever seen a professional secretary use the DOS version of WordPerfect,
then compared it to one that uses either Mac or Windows version?  The people who
have learned on a GUI-type system will invariably use the handicap of the mouse,
and the cute button, and slow down their productivity.  Yes--I know-- it is harder
and it takes more time to invest in learning a quicker system and all the shortcut
keys--but if you put in an initial investment, your short-term losses will turn
into your long-term gains.   I don't know about other countries, but I believe that
it the achilies heel of American bussiness--Don't invest in long-term,  just get
the profits _now_!  (Government is the worst offender of this.)

Do your business a favor, and invest in it.

There. You have said it again.  I'm fearful of your short-term goals.  "MacOS's
choice of CMT is adequate for the majority of users today."  Note, that you used
the word "today".  What about tommorow?  Look ahead.  --Sure, I've heard it all
one thousand times-- "MacOS will have it--wait for Copland."  To be honest, I'd
rather have a well tested model that has been in existance for a while.

(Has anyone bought those DOC-Martin sandles?  What made them think they were in the
sandle business anyways?  I know two people who bought them, and the buckles broke.
If you buy sandles, stick with the Berkenstocks.)
