Happy pointy clicky worlds are fine, as long as they occur on Macs or
assorted smalltalk/lisp machines.  We have nothing against happines or
pointy clicky worlds, just windows, intel, and IDE.

Now, have you really given MacOSX, BeOS, NextSTEP, or even Wain and
Weil's Squeak In One Disk a fair try?  We've already established that
you won't like GNU/Linux and most likely solaris and irix, but that is
just a small segment of the whole wide world of unixs.

Were you to do that (and I'm not saying you have to), you really
should put it on a seperate computer, then put worries about screwing
up aside.
