From article <4036@orbit.cts.com>, by granteri@pnet51.orb.mn.org (Grant Erickson):
| In reply to that article on the survey done by Dr. Halio, I also saw a report
| done by a college writing professor who conducted a similar test. I
| appologize, but I do not know the college or name of the professor. He
| commented on the fact that his reports handed in by student using Macs were
| composed with much more skill and displayed superior writing ability compared
| with papers handed in by IBM Compatible users. He also made the statement that
| the Macintosh papers were also laid out and published in a much more
| professional manner.

Of course it's also possible that the superior layout influenced the
professor's evaluation of the content.
