Perhaps someone ought to do a controlled experiment in which people who
normally write on DOS machines do some writing on a Mac and vice versa,
so one could see how the same individuals did on different machines.
This would distinguish whether any differences were do to the machines
(and thus favour one over the other) or to the people who tend to use
each (in which case they might do just as well or poorly whichever
machine they used).

Anyone know of such a study?
