CompuServe Messages

Mike, unlike the Mac and Windows environments, the Amiga world took forever to enforce an interface standard, and I don't blame you guys for having an odd interface. When Imagine came out, every program interacted with the user in a different way. It can also be argued that the programming/design staff at Impulse prefer spending their time building new functionality into Imagine, and as much as we complain about a small number of bugs, we keep using Imagine because it performs so well at a reasonable price. What I have in mind, though is this: while you may concentrate on raw functionality at the beginning, as a product matures, you might find time to address some of the smaller features which make a difference between roughness around the edges, and a streamlined, well-oiled machine which is a pleasure to work with. You did a lot of interface work on Imagine 2.0, and I still remember the quantum leap it represented compared to 1.1. Perhaps the next release of Imagine 3 could see some of those small features we've mentioned over the past weeks. And thanks for paying attention. Having a two-way dialogue with the creators of my favorite software is the reason I spend big bucks on CompuServe. Blaq!
