And I am not ready, yet, to give up the KISS principle in screen design.
But as to users automatically adopting Windows ... I spent a few painful
minutes with a technologically impaired woman I otherwise respect who is
going to take a lo-o-o-ong time just getting used to the mouse -- even
now!  and pull-down menus? We're talking about introducing the Schick
