Why should the ignorant decide? Do you leave the decision of what great art is to 3 year olds and their doting parents? Do you leave the decision of what great food is to the ignorant, unwashed, McDonald's-devouring masses? Why then do you leave the decision of what's a useful interface to those with insufficient experience? Emacs has a slight learning curve (so too did your Windows/Mac OS interface conventions--you've just forgotten them), but it is easy to use. A Windows or Mac OS text editor may have an easier learning curve, but it'll never be as easy to use. -- Robert Uhl <http://public.xdi.org/=ruhl> I read [.doc files] with 'rm.'
