I can't believe you flamed that simple comment.  What did you read into it? 
Just because I mentioned the Mac does not mean that I was comparing the Mac to
the //gs.  My entire point was that resource editing is fun.

I suppose I could have used a //gs example.  Another friend of mine has had a
hey day with his Finder icon file.

And therein lies the real difference, I suppose.  On the Mac, one friend used
a resource editor.  On the //gs, another friend used an icon editor.  On the
Mac, the file was a collection of resources.  On the //gs, there was the
Finder in one directory and the Finder icon file in another directory.  Two
different methods to solve the same problem.  Both worked.  Aren't we
comparing Apples to Apples?  :-)
