Which would we rather have:  PMT or QuickTime?  Answer:  QuickTime.  Which
would I rather have:  PMT or Text To Speech?  Answer:  Text To Speech. 
Etc., etc.  We'd much rather have other features than a slight improvement
in our user experience, especially when, looking at the most popular PMT
system today, aka Unix, the user experience (including responsiveness) is
much, much worse.
