I just called Quickview Systems (146 Main Street, Los Altos, CA  94022) @
415-965-0327 to see if they had a Demo of the ST version of Zoomracks and
I was saddened by the reply.

The voice on the other side of the phone said that the PC version was being
sold as shareware through PCSig, but that they had no demos of the ST
version and that it has been "placed on the back burner."  He went on to
say that the ST market had been a disappointment and that they felt the
ST users were not into productivity software.

From what I read in ST report, it seems more likely that Quickview had
a really rough time trying to get the marketing and advertising going.
I remember seeing the box for it in the computer store when I bought my
ST 4 years ago, but I did not know that it was a card-oriented thought
processor like HyperCard until I read STReport a few weeks back.

I'd like to suggest to anyone who is interested in this product to let
Quickview systems know that there is a market.  I really think there
would be a market if they could intergrate graphics into their cards and
make it GEM based.

If anybody has a demo of Zoomracks, I would greatly appreciate a receiving
a copy.

Thanks,
