  Which brings me to the reason why I am posting... Forgive me, but I have had
my head buried in the sand as of recent, and have heard of this "New Wave"
product only in messages concerning this lawsuit.  What is "New Wave", what
does it do, why is it worth suing over?  One person said something about
"having two applications using different parts of the same data at the same
time", which is intriguing but not very descriptive.  Is "New Wave" out yet?
Could I get a demo of it at my local EggHead/ComputerLand?  Does it work with
any product you would care to name, or just with "New Wave" compatible products?
I'd like some facts, people, cold hard facts.
  But, I'd also like some warm, soft opinions... I have used Windows very little
(read that, not at all but I may go try it out at work; I think there may be a
copy floating around) and have no idea what "New Wave" is like.  In _your_
opinion, is Apple justified in its lawsuit?  Not based on your love of the Mac,
or your love of the PC (does ANYONE _really_ love the PC?); but based on your
somewhat solidly formed, and INformed, opinion on the products themselves.
