Apple doesn't come to your office and strangle you if you write a bad program. And I doubt CBM's guidelines "attracted a new developer to the platform." Hah! Yes, I agree wholeheartedly, this interface issue is entirely moot. Sales past, present and future have never sent me the message that an interface cleanup would affect my profits. Similarly, I think CBM management came in with an axe and made the same decision about all the software engineers who were dinking around making gadgets look different. Putting myself in their shoes, it makes perfect sense why they'd be axed. These people were screwing around on things that had nothing to do with CBM's profitability or even useful R & D.
