In fact, several studies show that Mac users are more productive even when they have a great deal of experience. Have you seen the Westinghouse study which showed that Mac users were twice as productive as Windows users? http://www.macscitech.org/oswars/oswars3.html Unix as a personal computer is a non-starter. For PC tasks, nothing is more productive. For example, if I want to open a file on my Mac, it takes a single mouse click to open virtually any file on any of my mounted drives. How many keystrokes do you have to type ot open an arbitrary file nested 5 layers deep? -- Regards, Joe Ragosta Copyright Joseph M. Ragosta, 1996.
