HTML formatting of keys

[Paul Beuk]

Hello Ron,

...at the risk of being black-listed because of the off-topic discussion...

The Mac vs PC dispute will continue forever, but software development will
partly overtake the dispute. See my other reply on the Java-version of
Lucid.

As to you little jibe 'Soooo, finally I can say, "you should just get a
Windows PC".  8>)' and can tell you: I got it, even better, I have two!  As
user of both platforms I can participate in the dispute for both sides. I
can see advantages and disadvantages of both platforms and can get
frustrated about software being available for one platform and not the other
(goes both ways!). But on a completely diffrent track I have to consider
that not everyone is using PC's. I privately work on one, even use my own
laptop at the office, but our official office network is composed entirely
of Macs. It is a legacy of being allied with the university faculty (which
had a complete Mac network and is migrating to PC's just now) and becoming
independent later on. We do not have the funds to replace all our Mac's with
PC's. If I am in such a company, then there are bound to be more.

Like I said in my other reply, 'one of my objections goes down the drain' if
cross-platform applications become available. Just as I don't like webpages
developed for one browser only, I have objections against pages which can
only be viewed on one platform, simply because it requires plug-ins or
applications for that particular platform.

Paul
