Jim, to be honest (for a change), despite all my recent sarcasm about
the Mac,
I really had some great times sailing my own Mac, and I sometimes regret
getting
rid of it. - Particularly when my Seidleman bottoms out and gets stuck
in the mud
while I'm a little distracted (e.g., difficulties pulling the tab on the
last
of a six pack), or when I can't even take it out at low tide, etc.

Also, I wanted to tell you that you were absolutely correct in your
responses
to my note quoting six "authorities" criticising the Mac.
Most of them hadn't even sailed a Mac, much less one of the current 26M
models.
- And rather than admitting it (with the resuting loss of face with my
buddies on the ng),
I first tried to ignore you, and then, I simply lied about it.
The bottom line is that you called me on it, and I didn't have a
face-saving response, so I simply lied to the entire newsgroup. I have
no excuse, but it relates to some personal problems I have suffered from
for some time.

Don't take it so hard, Scotty. - In a few months everyone will forget
all about it.
