That is so funny!
Paraphrase...
>Even ProGloss has its ridiculous 32M limitation.
Oh, boy! I'd rather have a 32 Meg per volume setup than a hundred 400K vol-
umes! Be realistic!! As if 32 Megs is SMALL or something! Most people don't
even have more than 20 to begin with!

Sean Kamath OK, Folks. Let get one thing straight. *EVERYTHING* has it's limitations, sometimes severe, and othertimes unimportant or non-relevant. And 32 Meg *IS* small.

Y'know... if more effort were devoted to developing a better emulation system for the //s, the overhead wouldn't matter. Why put 10 emulations for terminals that noone's even seen in 10 years in a program just because they are easy to interpret? This gives people an easy way to say "Look at AAAAAAALLLLLLL the terminals my program emulates!!" I say "Nobody USES those anymore!" All I've ever had call to use is VT-100 emulation. I know of some excellent programs for IBM that go up to VT-240! They don't even include the other terminals! The point is... don't clutter the thing with useless emulations and then sit back content with a job well done. Strive for the BEST! I would do something like this if chronic apathy for the //e hadn't set into me. I'm thinking of getting an Amiga 2000 this summer... UNLESS, of course, this gs+ thing turns into a reality. But Apple is FAST losing my interest (and many other peoples' I'm sure!) Take it easy... mcl9337@tamvenus.bitnet
