Actually, the MacIntosh office has little Icons for everyone else in
the office.  If you want your secretary to take dictation, you just
move the mouse, click it on "your secretary" and drag the icon over
to "your office."

I didn't read the New York Times (if it doesn't have Bloom County and
Donnesbury, I'm not interested...) so I had no idea that Apple had an
ad cooked up for the Super Bowl.  However, by about halfway through the
ad, I thought that it HAD to be an Apple ad.  It was rather amusing, too.
You don't know how many times I've dreamed that all of the IBM people
would walk off a cliff...(and take their &^%^& PC with them!))
