Well, I am pretty good with my mouse and I even had problems with the Amiga
sub-menus.  When I see others having trouble choosing things off a mac menu,
or missing a push button, I wonder how hard of a time THEY would have using
sub-menus.  For those of you who haven't tried one, they are a pain.  You go
up and grab your main menu, then move down to the item you want, then you
have to *carefully* navigate a ninety degree turn and go off to the right,
then pick your sub-menu item.  If you accidentally move too far up or down
(usually RIGHT BEFORE you get to the sub-menu, then you will have chosen the
WRONG main menu item, and will be on IT'S sub-menu.
  I invite every one to try an amiga, and then decide if this is what you
  really want.
