I don't get you people at all. People who cannot use a computer without those kinds of all-encompassing metaphors should not be in charge of administrating an entire operating system, but should instead have some sort of limited shell. All of your automation and auto-update suggestions would seriously make any system a security hazard. Why don't we make a market of computer 'appliances' and separate it from the raw computer market? Imacs for the masses, and linux boxes for the people who want a machine and not an appliance. Marc
