   Stupid users "need" to be ld through the maunal install process? Well,
Twilight II has a copy of the installer program on it so it's point and
click simplicity. For those who want to mess around with things, they can do
things on their own, and not get hampered by a lousy interface.

   Twilight's philosophy towards users is this: for those who are lazy or
don't know the technical details, let them use the installer. Those who are
adventurous can do things themselves, and not pay a speed penalty for it.

   By now, I've shown that you are attacking Twilight II on little things,
such as "originality" and "color in the stars module." When are you going to
realize that Twilight II was a really hot product at AEW, simply because it
is a superior all-round product. If you have bones to pick with Twilight II,
simply admit it rather than trying to hurt your own image by slandering.
