Well, Apple has finally changed there interface somewhat in system 7.0
It actually looks really cool.  It combines OpenWindows on the Suns, Windows 3.0,
and stuff from the NeXT.  The $64,000 question is

How can they possibly justify sueing Microsoft, when they are stealing everyone
elses stuff to make their cherished System 7.0.
