Hmm...amusing thought.  But, then, does anybody really create a Macintosh
Application from scratch anymore?  With things like Skel and such around,
when would I ever be writing the code to do that.  I did it, just to learn
it.  After that, I never wrote one again.

The only difference is that Apple seems to have put this stuff up out of
the ROM and made you write the code.  Commodore didn't.

Curiousity:  Doesn't MPW have code to allow you to do just what was written
in the Byte article (ie, "A window was resized.  Great.")
