Geez, Keith, I just asked a simple question.   Ever think of anger management 
classes?

We may indeed be smaller, but vastly superior. Who said we ever aspired to universality. 
We are way beyond that.

I dunno where you thought I was angry... I'm blunt, that doesn't mean I 
am angry in the least.  I just tend not to beat around the bush.

If I actually got angry about which software was available on which 
OS/platform, I'd be in serious need of  much more counseling than anger 
management classes might ever provide.. ;-)

Let me confess it.  I am a PC/Windows person, and having used Macs I 
am perfectly comfortable with my choice.  However I truly regret that 
the Mac market is so small.  Having two excellent and competing 
platforms fighting it out to please me gives me a big advantage.  
Neither platform can become overconfident.  The consumer (i.e. yours 
truly) wins. I wish that Mac could pull back into a more commanding 
presence in the market just to keep my PC crowd on its toes.
