Ron, Yes, I've heard good things about GoeWorks. It's funny it never took off considering the small investment required. Most people, I think, only use their computers to do one, possibly two things and thus don't care about things like multitasking or an efficient or intelligent O/S. I'll aways remember the first time I was introduced to the Amiga. The dealer played music, opened an editor AND formatted a floppy, all at the same time. I was sold. The problem is not that users don't appreciate AmigaDOS but the marketing department of C= doesn't seem to. They usually mention it but never seem to say WHY it is special and WHY a user needs it and WHY it's the best system available. They need an approach like OS/2 or the Macintosh that makes you believe you can't work without it. Andrew
