Hehe, I´d say they WERE so easy to use, back in the OS 9 days....
The current OS X, while a vast improvement in performance, is a bit
overloaded with features, and so has become about equally complicated
as Windoze to use and maintain (especially with Epson peripherals).
The BIG (and most important) difference remains: Macs still are very
reliable and safe.
gosh I was just discussing bloat and putting together some factoids
about
it for a completely different purpose but since you raised the

sharing would be good

reason? Operating System bloat.
Well, I´m not really surprised. Anyone needing just a "thinking
typewriter" would be far better served by an old no-nonsense setup.
For myself: I need Lightroom and Photoshop. I need a state-of-the-
art photo printer (which, sadly, still means an Epson). I want Gigs
and Gigs of storage, and fast ways of searching it. I want to do
several things simultaneously (like scanning one neg, sharpening the
previous neg in Photoshop, and printing yet a third one, while
listening to streaming classical music). So I do need the power and
the bloat. But there´s a price to pay, and not just in money....
