I don't know.  I can't predict how people will react.  We did what we thought
was the best thing to do as far as the Finder goes, and it's possible that some
people will still slam it.  Some people are expecting miracles and aren't going
to get them -- others are expecting nothing at all, and they'll be surprised.

As far as changing your mind goes, it might and then again it might not.
Some people -hate- the desktop user interface, and since that's what the
Finder uses... well, they can use something else I 'suppose.

And Laer, although I'm trying to make something that everyone would just go
out and buy a GS to use it, not everyone's gonna like it -- or use it. That's
just the way things are.
