In response to this, I'd like to ask, very sincerely, just what applications users would like to see? I asked this question on America Online and _nobody_ answered. The one category of application that I don't really want to hear about is the game. It is my belief that it is a tiring battle to get a game published on the IIGS, so please limit responses to productivity applications since publication of applications isn't as uphill a climb. My purpose is to try to get a general feeling about what needs to be done to "raise the stakes" in the IIGS market. So, please, before answering the one question asked above, think about your response in terms of what _you_ need to make the GS a more productive machine for you. Additionally, think of a price range for such an application. If you desire, you can email your response to me at: uunet!ingr!ne1300!brnded!scott or at the address in the .sig entry below.
