It doesn't make a big difference (to me anyway). It does make a lot more
sense. It's not worth going to war over, in any case.

Plaid. But don't let that stop you, you're rolling...

Indeed, we'd just be confused. I can live with it...

Richard Sexton just choked. Me, I'm on BITnet, I have to restrain myself. :)

I imagine there are a few out there, and people make buying decisions based on

Gee Dan, I have *my* df1 on the right. Was it supposed to go on the left? Damn.
I'm not a complainer. I love my Amiga. If Amiga owners provide feedback to

 ...and Willie Nelson coined the term "FileHandle" I suppose. I think we will
start boring people if we keep this up. (Everyone just thought: "too late." :)
