I could not agree more.  The more I use and develop on the MAC the  more  I
am  convinced  it  has  made  major  new  inroads  into system and software
implementation.  Structured languages and documented programming  were  met
with  resistance.  Unless  we  develop  new  concepts  and  are open to new
concepts, we are placing our heads in the sand once  again.  UNIX  and  any
other  operating system can learn alot from MAC derived software.  If by no
other means than carrying thoughts and ideas from the MAC to  their  world.
My  single  vote  is  that this group should be allowed to exist and that a
more formal way of announcing cancellations should be  devised,  to  insure
the users of said groups are given fair warning of impending cancellation.
