So how do you uninstall a program on a Mac?

You drag it to the trash.

And how do you know that it cleaned up after itself when it went into
the trash?

You don't, of course: you cross your fingers, knock on wood, throw salt
over your left shoulder and hope for the best.

Now, before you go confusing me with a PC lover/Mac basher, I'm not
either one. But contrary to the constant bleatings of the Mac faithful,
not everything is all peachy-keen with installing and uninstalling stuff
on the computers "for the rest of us". F'rinstance, has anyone here ever
tried to set up networking between a Mac and something else? It's
actually about as difficult and unclear a process as doing the same
thing with a Windblows box; in fact, I give the PC a slight advantage
here, contrary to the conventional wisdom that "everything is easier on
a Mac". And the online help on the Mac is a joke.

the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and
doodle. It is balder and dash."
