I don't mind a person saying something like this, but this statement lacks any information to back up this assertion. As anyone can tell you, first does not equal best. Coming soon is also misleading. Sure, there are more Mac hypertext/hypermedia applications coming too that will be quite impressive. > For an interesting application of hypermedia, check out the PC program: > > Liberty! How about these for the Macintosh: ABC Interactive's programs on the '88 election, Martin Luther King Jr., and the situation and complexities in Palestine/Israel. I'm sure others can add to these. > Taegan D. Goddard > Washington, DC And have you ever created a hypertext application on a PC? Many Mac users can tell you yes, but I have yet to see a PC user that produced anything that they were happy with. -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: !{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)
