Antti,

Sorry if I sounded like I was looking for a fight.  I'm not.  In fact your
comments are becoming the kernel of a new column I am doing on
"culture shock" as people migrate or attempt to migrate from
Windows.

So far I am writing about the problems of too much choice and the
apparently nonsensical naming of applications as the primary topics.

Any other suggestions for inclusion on a piece on "culture shock"?

See ya,
Joe Barr
