- It is an unfortunate fact, that threads take along their original subject
- line, although it possibly doesn't have anything to do with the contents any-
- more. And I hope we agree that content is more important than "label".

- Oh, it's that simple. I didn't notice... :-)

- O.K., if you don't want to accept any other arguments about this topic,
- I better give in and enjoy doing something more worthwhile than shoving
- arguments back and forth...

- I never tried to imply that MS-DOS or Windows is easy to use. We didn't even
- mention those two before. (At least not after I entered the discussion). And
- I don't want to convince anyone of the superior ease of use of UNIX. (Some-
- thing like that doesn't exist!) I just
- want to discuss these things based on facts and not like I would try to
- discuss religion. And I have the feeling that this is just the case with you.
- "There shall be no other computers beside the Mac" (I don't know the exact
- English phrase...) is something I cannot and will not accept, even if it might
- be true for some parts of the Mac.

- When thinking of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilian deaths, that

-
- I pray to God, that this won't happen again! Us German have caused enough
- grief in two World Wars and any German in his right mind would never ever
- want those times back, since the violence spread by that devil Hitler came
- right back at a lot of our own people in those days. We know better than
- that, Edward!
-
- Sorry, folks, no more politics in this group, I promise!!
