And even for the not so average user. While I am by no means an AS
expert, I have been using it for years and consider myself a reasonably
capable scripter. But recently I have tried to do some stuff on Windows
using VBScript and the Windows Scripting Host and even the simplest
tasks cause me no end of grief. Many, many times have I cursed MS and
prayed for the comfort of AppleScript!
