So far, all I see is astonishment that I don't find ProDOS to be the Holy Grail, but not a whit of a reply for the reasons I gave for being less than ecstatic about the prospect of dumping several hundred dollars worth of software so I could invest money and time learning new programs to do little more than I'm already doing. Now GS OS (is it going to be referred to as "Gosh?") could be a different kettle of fish entirely (the next issue of Vaporware containing an item about GS OS and other utterly AMAZING Apple II rumors will be along in a week or so). I was at a Burger King with an Apple beta tester last Thursday -- he was too honest to deny that he's heard of GS OS (actually he's using it every day), but then he's not supposed to say anything about it either - makes for a PECULIAR conversation :-). --------------------- Disclaimer: The "look and feel" of this message is exclusively MINE!
