If you're talking about the original Mac, this is true. But keep in
mind that Jef was off the Mac project before it changed directions.
I didn't say Mac.
To answer the question of why you'd want easy to
use software, that push
really does come from the corporate world. My favorite example for this
My entire post was about differentiating "easy to use" v "easy to
learn".
The corporate push is for "easy to learn", since they don't want a
training expense for the digital sweatshop.
Apple's marketing pushes "easy to learn" while calling it "easy to
use".
"Easy to use" and "easy to learn" may occasionally overlap, but are
NOT
the same for those who are capable of learning.
Conflation of the two phrases is detrimental to the well being of our
species.
