Victory over Macintosh

[Genevra Gerhart]

Well, we can't leave that alone now, can we? (The J. Douglas Clayton
reply to the PC/Mac problem)).
I note with amusement (but not bemusement) that Professor Clayton is the
one to suggest the police be brought in.  Habit of thought, I guess.
I would like to explain that we are discussing tools here, not cultural
systems.  I madee the mistake of considering, for a bare moment, that
language was a tool one could use to accomplish something. I, more than
many, am aware that a tool is only one of the things a language can be.
PCs and Macs are not cultural systems, they are mere tools.  As such
they should make communication easier, not more difficult. I recommend
he try editing PC stuff on his Mac. And get the Russian and English
fonts right.  As the Mac dies, grimly clutching its academics.
Regards,
Genevra
