	Well, I am glad that you brought it up :).  Vitesse is a company that
is committed to the future of the Apple IIgs.  Their products includes:
The Salvation line of Hard disk utilities: Bakkup, Exorciser, Wings,
Renaissance, and Deliverance.  Also do not forget the FIRST hand held scanner
for the Apple IIs: Quickie (The only InWord compatible scanner.  But correct
me if I am wrong :)  The story I heard is that WestCode send both Vitesse and
ThunderWare letters requests the specs and hardware for their scanners, but
only Vitesse bothered to reply)

	They also have DiskAccess NDA, think of it as a Finder-in-a-NDA.
	Harmony - Printer drivers for the GS that allows you to use laser
		  printers like the HP IIP, etc.

	Coming soon:  Contour - outline fonts for the Apple IIgs.



	Hope this answers your question.
