(An Apple employee told me this.) > Please be careful about what you say "Apple Knows". Absolutely right. I appologize for being sloppy with my words. Note I didn't say better, friendly, easier, or compatible. one of the main points I was trying to make was that there are certain changes Apple will not make to the Mac UI. Example: Suppose someone "proves" another rival window system is "better". (Of course another expert could "prove" the Mac UI is better.) But even so, would Apple change their UI? Of course not. Their UI would cease to be unique. They would have to fire all their lawyers! :-) -- Bruce G. Barnett barnett@crd.ge.com uunet!crdgw1!barnett
