Yeah, that's it, let's start another platform war. Just what we needed. 


How 'bout we blame IBM for altering the Command key to be the Control 

Key? And for moving it too where the Control key on the Mac lived?  Lord 

knows that was good for uniform behavior.


God forbid we give Apple any credit for making the machine easier to use 

with one button and modifer keys, which kids and novice adults, 

left-handed and right-handed users alike, can and do learn with more ease 

and speed, and that many, many average consumers *prefer* one button 

mice, and despite the fact that when a user *wants* more buttons, they 

can *easily* buy and install them, or wants less buttons, they can have 

that too, and surely it is of no use to any Pro that you can daisy-chain 

on ten or more ADB mice/input devices and they all *JUST WORK* without 

ten hours of driver and config nightmares.


No, Apple just makes slap'n'tickle devices for amatuers. How they manage 

to make six figure incomes with these toys is just astounding, ain't it?


<THUD>
