This speed of turnaround is a little misleading, anyway.  While I don't
dispute that the Symantec compilers are much faster in the turnaround cycle
when you are debugging something and the changes are few, I find the MPW
compilers to be faster when I am creating new code.  The simple reason for
that is that with MPW compilers I get to see all my errors at one time and
can do a mass edit to fix them, rather than having to go through multiple
abortive compiles, fixing errors and typos one at a time.

Isn't this just another example of differing priorities?  I still maintain
that anyone who is serious about developing software on the Mac should
have BOTH the MPW and THINK environments.
