one of the things I _like_ about the ST is that I can make it look like
about anything I want.  There's no fascist lockstep on the user interface.
I can fire up gulam and make a imitation unix machine.  Pcommand will act
like msdos, as if I ever would want that (can you say "boring"?).  There 
are all sorts of nifty GEM add-ins, and no silly little wall at 640K.
