Steve, I know about em. I guess I wasn't clear; our Windows product is done, and we're beginning to market it now… so we have quite a bit of experience under our belt with Windows. We've already had the problems, now the product is done and we expect to just deal with normal issues now, barring installation :^) There's a need to be "diplomatic" with the PC customers, but I can tell you that from my point of view (and the two other programmers who have been involved), Windows is a kludge on top of another kludge (MSDOS), its weak and fitful, as well as hard to get going, as you say. It's also slow, a memory hog, and (IMHO) pretty painful to program for. Mike is the only one who really could be said to like it; Barry eyes our 486 with a look that could be compared to how a US soldier looks at an Iraqi land mine. –Ben
