	You think the //gs is bad? What about the Atari ST? Now there's a
machine that still doesn't have an operating system! (Flames in email,
please)

	Yes, actually, there's lots of it. All of it sitting on my hard
drive, with "just a few more bugs to work out" ;)

	Actually, it seems (from an admittedly limited perspective) that
there's still quite a bit of educational software development going on.
Given that this is what Apple has been pushing the // as, perhaps this
is fairly appropriate (in the context of Apple's apparent mindset about the
//)?
	This isn't exactly what _I_ want, but I think that there's more
software out there than the average c.s.a reader sees...
