Readers of this newsgroup should probably be aware that this very same posting has appeared at least twice in comp.sys.mac, has engendered no follow-up postings reporting similar experiences, and has finally been objected to on precisely that ground. Mr Dyckman was recently asked to stop repeating his posting on the subject. Given that comp.sys.mac has a large and enthusiastic audience of regular Macintosh users, many of whom would appear to be all day, every day hackers, it would be extremely interesting if anyone in this group reports a similar experience. At present it would appear that the lowest common denominator is Mr. Dyckman and not the Apple Macintosh. If he is indeed uniquely sensitive, he is to be pitied, and I would suggest he picks an alternate computer. I doubt that his case is any different to that of someone who is allergic to real leather, and therefore can't drive a Rolls Royce; it is an extremely unusual allergy. -- R.A.
