- What's wrong with ACC's? I don't think they're such a bad idea.
- I have to use Windows at work where getting hold of an
- accessory is sumetimes quite tricky, for a start you have to remember
- where it is (i.e which windowsetc) and once you do
- remember where the ACC is you have to perform about 6 clicks to
- get it before you can even run it.
