You're forgetting their original sin: the invention of the double-click (to go with their single-button mouse). One of the engineers involved made a public apology a few years back; I'll see if I can dig up the link. It was a noxious creation and one that should see a rather louder apology from Steve Jobs at one of those wankfest product launches. -- Bruce I object to intellect without discipline.
