	If it's so obvious to you, then you should have lots of
examples in mind.  Please post them.

	You may not use the Macintosh I, VisiCalc, Lotus, Tenex/TOPS-20,
or VM/CMS, since all of those user interfaces were developed prior to 
Jack Russo and Doug Derwin's creation of the "look and feel" doctrine,
and certainly prior to Apple's lawsuit against Digital Research.
