People keep saying nice things about this program, and i don't know why.
It stunk as a tutor. Tutors shouldn't take 5 minutes to start up.
They shouldn't take most of your machine to run. They should be 
summonable at any time, be small and fast, and help you out. 
  As a demo vehicle for venture capital or manager types i am 
sure it was wonderful. It was absolutely worthless as a tutor 
or aid. I hated it and my non-amiga-literate father hated it; it 
didn't help him at all. 
  Good riddance, i say. There's still too much of this semi-professional
stuff on the disks that just make the Amiga look silly.
