The concluding paragraph is terrific, considering the magazine's venue: "I wish Microsoft would spend more time fixing some of the glaring problems with Windows and less time throwing its weight around. For example, try shift-clicking to select a bunch (but not all) of the icons in a folder. It doesn't work properly in either Windows NT or Windows 95 (it works perfectly on a Mac), and my guess is, it never will." See <http://www.ntsystems.com/nts204tc.htm> for the entire editorial. __________________________ Digital Guy Sez: That's actually the biggest problem I have switching from one OS to another (hey, I occaisionally help misguided friends who are stuck Wintel boxes :): I'll use a shortcut that I use all the time on the Mac without thinking about it, and I'll get the dreaded "unexpected results". If memory serves, I think OS/2 handles shift-clicking correctly. :-)
