I tried it when Charles (blessed be his name, now and forevermore!) first
got back to revising Pan again.

I'm sorry to say I found it so contrary to the way I work, that I gave up
entirely, until the new version reaches 1.0 -- which, I hope, I hope
(pretty please with sugar on it?) may make it an option whether to
aggregate them. Is there hope? 

I'm not saying it's not a good thing; some of the most intelligent people
I know swear by the Apple interface, too. But I just couldn't work with
it, either; I run Fedora and only Fedora (dot ppc, of course) on the only
Apple machine I have the misfortune to possess. 

Both just feel so wrong, somehow, that they keep me from holding my
attention on what I'm trying to do -- forcing me to concentrate on stuff I
don't even want to know about. Not everybody's mind works the same way,
alas!
