This is totally ludicrous. Just to begin with, relying on a photocopy to determine look and feel of a user interface is insane. I've used all the user interfaces in question, and the Macintosh is clearly a crippled subset of the Xerox Star: the only differences between them being wholly due to the restricted memory and single-tasking operating system. Windows is a substantially different interface, with a completely different feel. Nothing short of installing a Star, Mac, and PC in the courtroom is adequate to determine these sorts of questions. Anyone claiming that anything less is sufficient is naive or crooked... the author or the subject of a con job. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' peter@ferranti.com +1 713 274 5180.
