It makes my computer easier for the whole family to use. My wife is a shanghai junkie and now she boots the machine and double clicks on the games/ Shanghai menu item and off she goes. Also WordPerfect! In an aside I have to say that my A1000 with FacII, 3 floppies, VD0:, WShell, MyMenu, Conman 1.3, ARP 1.3, and WorkBench 1.3 is just as easy to learn and use as a Mac. I have proof! A buddy is staying with me and in two days he became familiar enough to boot the system and use WordPerfect to create his resume and cover letters. The biggest lessons were the Kickstart/Workbench cycle, menus/mouse and mouse clicking, and how to find the floppies in my storage case. I think this shows the type of utilities that should come standard with the Operating System. Now we need outline fonts and generic SCSI devices. Is it in there? For sure?
