I'm just dropping my thoughts onto the net about GS/OS 5.0 (beta) that I just
got to try out.  THIS OS IS N*I*C*E!  Just about everything about the gs is
speeded up several times.  Boot time is a bit slower from a hard disk, but I
suppose that is because of a lack of an Apple SCSI card (I'll have to call
First Class Peripherials to see if they plan a new driver [are you seeing this
1st Class Periphs?]).  AppleWorks GS is actually usable!  My AppleWorks
Classic doesn't seem to want to work after working with another P8 program (It
hangs, but maybe that's due to MacroWorks?).  My worst complaint is that
SoftSwitch seems to think that every program is a P16 program, and won't save
anything to memory (I wish a GS/OS saving version of the program were
available).  However, switching back to Finder from a P8 program is near as
fast as from a GS/OS program.  (please excuse the sloppy writing, it's past my
bedtime)  :)
