I personally think the Apple lawsuit has merit, not because of the trash cans, not because of the icons, but because of the general "look and feel" issue: IT WAS INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM A MAC! I think that is what is called an "out-and-out copy". I have a person in my office who would strongly disagree with you on windows-3.0 look and feeling like a mac. Heck I would disagree with you, and I haven't seen a mac in years. An out-and-out copy I think not. -randy -- Randy Welch Mail to : ...!ncar!scicom!bldr!randy or rwelch@du.edu Boulder, CO rwelch@nyx.cs.du.edu or (303) 442-6717 "Unfortunately, life contains an unavoidable element of unpredictability" -David Lynch "The Angriest Dog in the World"
