The best explanatiion I've heard goes something like "It was easier to
make Unix user-friendly than it would be to make Windows reliable"
...to which some reply "Unix has always been a user-friendly operating
system. It's just picky about who its friends are!"
Does the OSX port involve running X and Motif on OSX, or has someone
created a Motif API library for the Aqua environment?
