Well, I think this whole discussion is a tribute to the authors of the Mac. The Mac interface is one of those "Oh yeah, so obvious, why didn't I think of that?" sorts of things. It works so well, and is so close to some kind of "perfection" that we forget that it didn't exist 5 years ago. Remember when personal computers only knew how to say "A0> " ?? It's kind of like TSR, and their fantasy role-playing games. Before they were on the scene, nothing, and afterwards hundreds of almost identical rules sets appeared. People couldn't understand why TSR was so hot under the collar either! -Ben Burch
