>>If automobiles were as difficult to use as PC's we'd still be riding horses.

Lots of interesting analogies are flying around here.  Y'all seem to be
forgetting something, though:

There are learning curves for all of the things you are mentioning as super-
easy-to-use.  The bicycle is not something I would consider easy to master.
Kids are splattered all over the road.  Cars are the same way.  Why are
insurance rates so high for inexperienced drivers?

The good thing about bicycles and cars are that the same skills are used
pretty much with any car or bicycle you drive.  You still have to learn the
skills.

If someone told me, at 37, that I had to learn a skill akin to riding a bike,
complete with all of the physical damage I'd have to go through to get there,
in order to use their product, I'd sure have second thoughts.  I think this
explains a lot about "computer illiteracy."

Hopefull all of this tax money we're paying for computers in elementary and 
high schools will produce people who are as comfortable with computers as
they are with bikes and cars.

Hey!!  How'd Amigoid or Amigite become derogatory?  I find the terms quite
complimetary.  After all, I hardly think Doctor Demento would call his fans
Dementites and Dementoids if it were deragatory!

Or maybe you, Jerry, could learn broader meanings of words.

Bryce's batch files sets Windows loose on his system, as opposed to keeping
it bound within files on his hard disk.

Since "loose" can be a verb,

  Loose windows.

is a complete sentence.

 Not wanting to fan the flames again, but what does this have to do
 with apps for ms-windows? There are newgroups for mac issues, but
 perhaps you probably should have posted this in .advocacy, and watch
 the OS/2 and WIN-NUTS both froth at the bit!

I don't know what's biten you
Of course there are much more programming on Pc. But in your letter
i think you forgot tol tell uss why MAC is used very much when 
handling great graphic. I think the graphic on Mac's are better..
Still I'm a PC fan, but I think, as you, that when you have a PC
you learn more about your machine. But if I had to choose which
are the best machine, I would coose the MAC.

"So the New Technology in NT is *Marketing*?"

Sure it is. But look, I'd rather have Microsoft do a new UNIX with a
standard UI (oh sorry, it's New Technology..yeah sure.) than spend the
next ten years watching UNIX die because of the idiotic
self-destructive Motif vs. Open Look debate that has stifled it for so
long. Marketing is important. There's nothing in NT that isn't done
1000% better on my NeXT machine, but I think it'll be good for the
industry for MS to do a real OS like NT and make a standard out of it
on the order of DOS. The Hamilton vs. OSF arguments are really boring
next to the spectre of a well-marketed UNIX clone like NT.

Rule of Thumb: never look to MS for innovation. Just look for real
standards-setting technology. You'll never be disappointed if you take
this approach. To their credit, they rarely try to claim credit for
innovations (except for that Cairo guy).

Nope, Alda was telling us all how wonderful Atari computers were.
We all know how well Atari has done since then (better than the

I have to agree with Joseph, I've helped a lot of Mac users figure out where
they installed fonts (not the system folder like they were supposed to), add
and delete desk accesories, drivers and other fun stuff that depend on the
version of the operating systems. People also delete files that they don't
realize thay need, because they see the icon and have no idea what the file is,
so they figure they can delete it!

At least on MS-Windows, the Program manager can be configured to show you only
the Icons for programs you need to use, not every damn file on your system.

Mac Users and Windows Users are not very different. They both need to get a
job done, they both use a GUI, and if they aren't very smart, they Both ask for
help from others who DO understand how the systems work.
