And so do other people. That's why I've taken up Andy McFaddden's LWP-GS project. I like what it does!! That's reason enough to do it, and for something like true full multitasking, that's something to charge for, even at 2.8MHz (which is moderately fast; don't believe what the MS-DOS folks tell you, believe what you see when you use the machine. 2.8MHz is faster than a 4.77MHz (that's what they all used to be) MS-DOS clone. It's not faster than 12MHz, but I'll bet the 7MHz of the TWGS comes pretty close. And don't forget that the GS was designed to run a GUI, and MS-DOS machines weren't, even if Windows 3.0 does look impressive. ----------------- Jeffrey Hutzelman America Online: JeffreyH11 Internet/BITNET:jh4o+@andrew.cmu.edu, jhutz@drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu >> Apple // Forever!!! <<
