True, the reason why I love both the Mac and the Newton, extremely easy
interface with keyboard shortcuts that are a dream to remember (I mean, an
idiot like me can remember "Command-A" for "select all" and "Command-P" for
printing, never had a clue with Windows keyboard commands.

(INSERT FOR PLATFORM IDIOTS, NO I DON'T MEAN THAT WINDOWS SUCKS, I JUST
CAN'T REMEMBER THE DARN SHORTCUTS 'CAUSE THEY AREN'T LOGICAL AND YES, I
SLEEP WITH MY MAC)
flames off list please, I won't reply ;-)

But I have to say that I pity all my Mac using friends that got addicted to
using the mouse for everything and pay with speed loss.
Never knew what got me addicted to the keyboard, my first MS-DOS experience
(without a mouse) or the piano......
