    Yes, but maybe if intuition was a device it would be now possible to 
run it thru a network (for example) ... But OK, at the time it wasn't 
obvious. And it is much more easier to program with intuition as a library 
!!!

   Having intuition as a device wouldn't give you easier programming. But 
it's true that a good interface builder on the Amiga would be a great 
help. For ages the only solution was to use Power-Windows. The first 
version were full of bugs and had lot of limitations (like: I don't want 
you to use the extra lines on a PAL machine). And the new version is still 
full of bugs (you somtimes have to realy fight with it to avoid the guru 
when generating the code !!).

     Now K-Windows must be available, I didn't see it yet, so I won't 
comment.
