I've worked with the MAC technology since its grandfather was developed
at RAND in the late 1960s as GRAIL. For this reason I bought a LIZA right
out of the shoot... first day.

The MAC has redeamed all of LIZA's shortcomings. Once one gets used to
formatted capabilities, it is hard to back up and think differently. I have
felt deprived every t I have had to go back to a simpler technology.

Working back and forth between UNIX systems and the MAC has freed up the
text mode so that it almost lives.

There is a good review of SUPERPAINT in today's (MAY 5) N.Y. Times. This
gives some flavor of the rapidly expanding capabilities at low cost...

The next step after desk top publishing is desk top aggitation!
