I am not too sure the average user even writes macros.

I thought Claris(apple)works had lots of capabilities as well.Including moving files from one app to another.

How many users simply fill in the blanks ,point and click on their computer ? The majority ? And if the apps are better now after 25 years of home computers the user shouldn't need to write programs,etc. The whole point was making the computer another tool wasn't it ?

I think Apple had a better GUI and the standardization of program style before Windows but they failed to deliver perceived value to enough people.

I wonder if the Steves picked Apple as a name because they thought it would be cute to use a name/logo similar to the trendy Beates, or just dumb luck ? Millions have been given to the Beatles and spent on lawyers that could better have gone into the computers.

Really not much difference in my 'Net experience or word processing with either system;except less site acceptance of the mac/netscape. But Apple was first with standard usb,firewire,wireless,and dvd. Which is why there still is a lime iMac nearby.That $1k machine might bring $100 now that it is a few years old but it still works as a mini-entertainment center,

No, but the thing is,
many businesses create
quite involved front ends

to standard programs
using macros, then deploy
those functions throughout

their secretaries
or supervisors and such.
The Mac and Linux

also have scripting,
but my point was that Windows
provides access to

almost all .NET
and that is not a shabby
object collection.
