I just received my copy of the "First Compilation Disk" put
together by the people at Lighthouse Design (Thanks, guys!)

The TopDraw demo which comes on the disk is worth checking
out, as an example of what first-class software is going to
look like on the NeXT.  There is an extensive use of sound---
the whole tutorial is presented in spoken form---and the things
they do with the on-screen displays (via compositing, I assume) are
really nice.  The demo shows off the NeXT as much as it does
TopDraw.  This is the sort of demo that Businessland folks should
have up and running on their showroom machines.  Now if I can only
imagine what all this will look like in color . . .
