Enjoyed your ADA review, but I'm not sure you're being fair to the Mac
with that last statement (above). Much of that is a result of the
interface (Window, Mice, Menus, etc.), which is nice for the user, but
rough on the programmer. Have you checked out X Windows, yet? Now
that's difficult! But that's what comes with the GUI. We are still some
years away from easy GUI programming for all, unfortunately.
  Responsible, rational replies welcome.
