From: Dave Land <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm really not trying to make this a Win v.

Like having only _*ONE*_ godd_a_m_ned mouse button?
LOL. If I want more buttons on my mouse I can buy one with more buttons and plug it in. The point is it works with only one which is simpler. A surprisingly large number of Windows users have *no idea* what the other mouse buttons are for anyway :)
Or requiring the OS to eject floppy disks
Much better than allowing the user to remove the disk during a write...
(and keeping files on the floppy disks open instead of closing them). Or Not having function keys? (Even the s_h_i_t_y mainframe terminals have function keys).
This USB Mac keyboard in front of me has F1 through F15. So does that ADB one over there. And that spare ADB one on top of the bookcase has 15 as well. You seem to be confused :)
