- So why did you say, "fortunately, there are millions of people",
- as if that meant something? Sounds to me like you are doing a
- bit of double-talk on this one. Again.

- Then why did you attack my statement about the quality of Windows
- as an OS? This is about worthwhile PC OSes that have consistent
- user interfaces across their applications, remember. Part of a
- discussion on the relative quality of OSes because someone implied
- the Amiga screen system was inferior because it encouraged non-
- standard application interfaces.

- If you are willing to leave Amiga users in peace, then why are you
- in this newsgroup?
