Steev, I never would've guessed you were a "glass-half-full" guy.

Always assume the worst. That's the magic of "reception-based"
thinking. It gets to be a smart critique to you even though Mr. Toy is
just an anime geek.
Think about the Mac faithful... the only people keeping the box in the
game is the uber-geeks, whether they be of the audio variety (like the
Idea of Fun all-stars) or of the graphics variety (like anime-fanboys
around the globe). Scary. Someone needs to invent a new UI paradigm so
we can sweep the Mac and Wintel off the table and move on.
