David,

May I remind you that it was you who started the discussion, by entering a
discussion which was originally only concerned with changes from System 8 to
System 9 on the Mac. You immediately took one pretty minor point, which in
addition you never quite understood (there are no hardwired application or
documents folders on Mac, it is just that some recent applications _expect_
these folders to be present - it is not the OS that does this) and used it
to bash the Mac platform. There was no real cause for this at all.

Philip then remarked that for him it was more important to have system
support for certain features like PS printing, than being able to configure
the paths for the applications folder. This discussion has now gone into
Windows boot managers etc, which really hasn't got anything to do with the
original problem.

So perhaps this is the problem with the discussion, which to be honest never
had any potential to lead anywhere at all.

I expected this to happen as soon as you entered the discussion, which was
why I said I hesitate to go on.

It escapes me why whenever a discussion about any Mac specific problems,
even short comings comes up you have to enter it with non-knowledge on Mac
issues just to question the quality of the Mac System per se.
