Harmony Assistant is a fabulous piece of software. It is a staff-centric composition tool, definitely geared toward musicians who read, write and prefer Standard Notation over tapedeck/pianoroll/drumbox metaphors. The vocabulary of notational devices is immense. Clefs, staves, tablature, tuplets, the works. Print quality is fabulous. From a simple guitar-chord + lyrics arrangement to multi-stave orchestral works, it produces great results.
The number of features is very impressive and it is quite customizable. It offers auto-accompaniment in addition to that creepy synthetic vocalist. Interfaces really well with Reason, too.
In fact, the slogan makes the cut grammatically when you phrase it like the bumper sticker: Think Snow. The slogan asks not that you "think differently" but that you should think of a Macintosh as "Different". Think Advertising.
The point in the argument you seem to miss here is that WWIII may not increase the intelligence of toasters so much as it decreases the intelligence of personal computers. After a personal computer has been dumbed down so much that it functions merely as an Internet client (and comes so cheaply as to be disposable), it becomes an Internet appliance. And one Internet appliance per Joe Average household might be all they need.

Myself, I wouldn't say mac aliases are more powerful than links - they're just different.
Aliases do have a nice quality: they continue to work even after their target is moved

OK, I'll bite. How do I disable esound? I've tried running x11amp and mpg123, but the MP3s play both slowed-down and stuttery.
