Hello everyone,
NeoDesk 2.04 is such a quantum leap over the standard desktop, that
words really don't do justice. I just received an update to version
2.00 and cannot believe the improvements. Dig this: HOT KEYS! Yep,
we've got hot keys with NeoDesk. What a product, what a programmer
Dan Wilga must be!
In short, NeoDesk 2.04 should be *required* for anyone having a
hard drive. Its ease of use and powerful versatility makes me in no hurry
for the vaporish TOS 1.4.
There is a real minor flaw, though. And I wish that someone on
GEnie could mention this to Dan Wilga since I don't have access to
GEnie.
When using the ALT/ARROW key method for mouse substitution, due to
the more often than not dead ST mice, <ALT><INSERT> does not run the program
selected. Instead, the user gets a screen dump.
Identical maneuvers from the standard GEM desktop result in the
program selected running.
Substituting keys for a dead mouse is only a temporary solution, but
when needed, a real saver. It would be nice if NeoDesk could be used
during this emergency situation.
If anyone here could mention this to Dan, it would be appreciated.
