Marshall beat me to it. I have a T-shirt that says "Mac: So simple my parents can use it." It's funny because it's true.

Why do I keep hearing "My parents are stupid" in these sorts of comments? Just wait. They get smarter as you get older.

My father was NOT stupid. He could use several of the more popular "word processors" (Wang being the last one he had used) but he could NOT, for the life of him, get used to using MS Word. Or anything else associated with Windoze. The command sequences just "didn't make sense to him ("Why do I have to go push "start" when I want to shut the system down?") --------------------------------------------------------------------- I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes. I will surely learn a great deal today. "A democracy is a sheep and two wolves deciding on what to have for lunch.
