I don't understand your point... You might have handcoded the Mac OS...
but from a DESIGN point of view Postscript (DTP) and HTML have very
little in common. O.k., more than people might think but not as much as
they think.

Anyway, I have no interest in continuing this discussion, it's very banal
and doesn't help anyone.
