You are entirely correct, if somewhat slow in reaching the conclusion. As I posted to t.b on May 13th: ------------------------------------------------------------ I've finally understood Apple's Evil Plan. It's all clear to me now. System 7 is just the latest evil ploy in this grand evil plan. You see, I've decided that Apple's evil plan is to turn people into ravingly enthusiastic Macintosh fanatics. These fanatics will then roam the streets grabbing strangers by the throat and forcing them to buy Macintoshes. The fanatics will smash PCs and burn Windows 3.0 disks. They will smile condescendingly at Amigas and laugh uproariously at X windows. They will convert everyone they meet into new Macintosh fanatics. I am one. It happened to me. I installed System 7 today. I joined the file of stripey-fruit lemmings in their mass trek toward the auditorium where the muscular woman throws a hammer into the screen, over and over. My mantra is now: System 7 is insanely great. System 7 is insanely great. System 7 is insanely great. What does Apple plan to do once it has turned the whole world into smiling happy point-and-click Macintosh zombies in seven-color logo clothing? I don't know. But I sit in a cafe drinking cheap gin, awaiting my fate happily. I love Big Apple. --- cj@modernlvr.wpd.sgi.com C J Silverio/Brahms Gang/Berkeley CA 94720 Learn to recognize Apple agents. These typically have a head bit that is called a scullycephalon, a middle segmented thorax bit, and a tail bit that is called a pygidium. They are benthic and vagile, and probably occupy many roles in the food chain, INCLUDING DEVOURING OUR CHILDREN! THEY MUST BE STOPPED AT ALL COSTS!
