I wholeheartedly agree on this. Because of the hidden dialog boxes and such, I find that using the Mac has been that much more enjoyable to work with. If "stupid code" like the mountains were taken out, I might as well use an IBM PC. Oh, wait--if you've got Windows 3.0, try this: go to the program manager's screen, type "WIN3" with F3 pressed like the Shift key, type backspace Perhaps Microsoft wants to be cute too. Nevertheless, I have great respect for a company that engraves the developers' signatures inside their product's case. Yeah, it's frivolous and maybe not too many people will see it; but it's the principle that counts. I don't want a computer with no "personality." Shit, if you're gonna complain about wasting the size of code (this isn't directed at you, Matt), start with the people writing the compilers and developers--tell them to use assembler instead!!
