  This world is unfair!  

Why hasn't anyone sue the big blue for
- giving user the *ugly*, *unfriendly* text based interface from hell?
- shamelessly cheat the users for a actually not so good computer?
- rudely made many users' life miserable and waster users' time?


  It is a fact that the standard interface of windows, pull down menus,
make things look good and friendly.

  It is a fact that NuBus, SCSI, AppleTalk, 68xxx chip is superior than 
EISA/MCA, ESDI, nothing standard or build in, 80xxx(not include 80486).

  It is a fact that a user would need to buy a book other than just the
manual for a DOS software, while Mac users don't even have to look at
the manual and learn things fast.


  But the company that took the *risk* to provide the user *more* than
the other impundent company is being "punished".  What is fairness?
What is the good judgement?  Where are the users?

  If Apple never had continued the work from the star project, will we
users see the windowing interface so early?

  If *some* people would not be so close minded, will the *rest of general*
users having to learn the terrible interface like the DOS?


  Wouldn't the Xmas be merrier if.....
