I didn't try it out much (on his computer... I don't have an IBM copmpatible) but it has the looks of Windows. It seemed to me that it was more user-friendly that Windows (I liked the way you change directories...). The switching delay from one application to another also seemed shorter. However, I don't really know if it is a true multi-tasking system because we didn't try it out. He actually had GeoWrite, GeoDex, and a lot of other applications/accessories. Obviously, they're much improved versions of what's on the C64 or C128, but some of them kept their old "look". I'm just wondering if the geoWrite data files will be compatible with the C64 and C128...! -- Miguel Pedro Send mail to if18@info.polymtl.ca (NOT @vlsi.polymtl.ca !!!)
