So, you like horridly pixilated text, awkward and inconsistent use of mouse and keyboard for commands and activities, and a system that crashes with the slightest provocation over modern alternatives? Also, don't be so quick to disparage Fischer-Price. They make toys for infants and children that the infants and children are actually able to figure out and enjoy. Would you not think that takes some creative design and engineering? > Umm, wow. You're the first person I've ever heard of who thinks that > non-apple guis look like fp.

Correction: Apple first popularized the GUI in the computer market, but by no means were they the first to invent it. Windows XP's default GUI is by far more toy-like than anything I've seen, and includes a BIG. GREEN. START. BUTTON. That start button then pops out the most insidiously ugly, obtusely-layed-out menu that I've ever had the displeasure to use. To say Windows 1.0 is more usable than _anything_ is an eggregious exaggeration. Nobody found it useable. It was laughed off the market. So, comparing today's Mac OS X's GUI to Windows 1.0 simply tells me you simply don't care about well-reasoned comparisons. YOU. JUST. HATE. APPLE. > A music player is a music player is a music player. They won't get any > converts away from windows media player or winamp. I believe he meant music _creation_ and _editing_, and video _editing_, not playback. Nearly any computer purchased new in the last 5 years can do playback.
