- And "user friendly" can definately be extreme. In first-year, we had Macs,
- and I was editting a program, then accessed a disk from a friend. He took
- the disk away, then a little later the machine INSISTED that I insert that
- disk. The only escape was rebooting - losing all my program. The Mac gets
- very fascist when it comes to floppy disks.

- Give mw the more subservient OS of the Atari any day.
