You can't say that for Windows 3.1 to Win95, much less for DOS to NT. I think the original Mac user interface was very well conceived. By 1984 Unix shells and tool interfaces were also very mature. Neither has changed much since then, only gotten better. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
