I think it might be a start in the right direction but I know nothing about EECAD types of programs so I've never used it and don't know much about it. >#2 - project management programs of the MacProject style ( Gantt charts, etc. ) >#3 - stand-alone equation writer for use with any WP ( Expressionist type ) >#4 - soft process controll ( stuff like Labview ) And some things that I would like (no... make that *pay*) to see: 5) NeXTInTax!!!!! (I'm actually considering buying a Macintosh (ugh!) who's sole purpose in life would be to do my taxes. So think about it, I'm willing to pay $1000 just for a solution to my taxes problem.) 6) an outliner (ala More II without all the presentation stuff built in.) 7) a really simple plotting package (like CricketGraph or a front end to gnuplot.) 8) games games games (I'm in love with Solarian!) 9) a good calculator (maybe even a construction kit too.) 10) good hard disk formatting interface (like SilverLining.) 11) backup software (a port of fastback would be nice.) 12) a good appointments program (Calendoscope, Cassandra, Date, and others for the NeXT all have problems.) So there you have, the wish list of Bryce Jasmer. Stuff that I would lay money down to use. I'll write #12 when I get a chance, but that probably won't be too soon.
