Mereness") Newsgroups: comp.sys.apple Subject: Re: Disappointed in the IIgs (was: GS/OS and programming standards) Message-ID: Date: 12 Mar 89 04:06:55 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 23 Scott, you say you may have set your sights too high for AWGS? Nothing of the sort. From what I understand from Jeff Erickson, you guys did some brilliant work trying to get the thing to work within GS/OS`s bounds, and unlike Paintworks Gold, you followed the Established rules. Any blame for the performance of your product is on Apple's head, because of their lack of software support and the lousy file-handling and memory-overhead associated with GS/OS. I refuse to accept GS/OS as a good OS, by the way, because I have worked with HFS for the Mac, which written much more efficiently. And should have been upgraded by now, considering how often the Mac system is upgraded. Anyway, keep your sights high, Scott. Once again, the // gets the winds up with the most Innovative software on the market, with a lot of niceties, too. It is not your fault that Apple, whose wisdom is now cutting into the success of the Mac as well, does not support its products with any trace of pride or enthusiasm. jeremy mereness jm7e+@andrew.cmu.edu (arpa)
