Hee, hee! Ok, Doug, ya got me on the Windows-specific thing. Actually,
I spent a couple of years around '90 working on Mac stuff. (You do know
that MS has historically been their biggest applications supplier?) I
probably used 'em harder than most people; but I got that damned
"anarchist's bomb" (BSOD equivalent) pretty regularly. And I know lots
of graphic artists, etc. who are much happier in the Mac environment.
Anyway...

As for sailing with software, I've decided that it's too high-tech for
me. I'm sure it wins races to have all that info to massage; but I'd
just prefer to enjoy the *feel* of sailing, even if it means coming in
second behind the guys who have a coupla software geeks on their crew
crunching data fulltime. I suspect I have more *fun* than they do.

The website you cited *is* the airplane I love. A joy to fly, roomiest
cockpit in the universe, excellent visibility, cruise at 200, and
stall-proof. But I'm a pilot not a builder. Gotta find one already
built, just the way I want, for a good price. Right. Oh yeah, and
convince my wife that we really do *need* an airplane.
Good luck to me on that one!
