   Is this pick-on-MacIntosh week?  No one told me...
   Besides, people don't *need* help with Macs -- they're too easy to use.

Yes, I know!  Of course, the Macs are incredibly easy to use!

To those of you who could not detect the sarcasm, there IS sarcasm in there.
I don't like Macs for many reasons - for one, I suspect that writing
programs on a GUI-only machine must be a pain in the ass.  I do admit
that (so far) they are second only to NeXTs in word processing ease-
of-use...

My real problem is Apple.  I dislike proprietary software, and Apple
seems to be trying to restrict everyone to creating their own GUI-interface.
Unless, of course, you want to PAY Apple or (HP?) for the use of
their own design.  Everyone (including Apple) should see the uses of
having a standard (free) GUI around.

Flames?  /dev/null, please.
