  I don't know if Dan has, but I have. (It's right over there <-,
with RADAR smiling sweetly at me.)


  My short description of the ease of use and friendliness of
MacOS?  "It sucks dead bunnies through a straw."  Now, some of
this may be the neolithic interface style thats endemic in the
PC world (mail agents that don't know how to forward mail, or
that will incorrectly rewrite the from address when they attempt
to forward mail?  Please!) but, in _any_ work situation where I
have the choice between a Mac and a Unix machine, I'll pick the
Unix machine without question, even if that unix is something like
AIX.
