Ok, for all of you who responded about hDC FirstApps and WindowsExpress, this is the basic responses about each: FirstApps: Neat toys. Especially the desktop animator. However, really scarf up memory, and only work decently in a 386 with >2megs. Also, very buggy (lots of abnormal program termination type errors). WindowsExpress: Serious potential replacement for program manager, and very good if your setting up a system for your less-intelligent users (thats the only kind I know of :-) ). Allows very specific customization of folders and associations that are too complicated for the PM. MyViews: We'll get a copy of WindowsExpress to check out (only $99 I think) and see if it works okay. Definately wait on FirstApps though, at least till version > 1.0 comes out. I have no connection with hDC, MicroSoft, etc etc eetc ad nausem. as Eric Pepke says; "any society that neads disclaimers, has too many lawyers" /----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Scott "gaspo" Gasparian - Teenage Mutant Ninja Technician | | || | S | | Supercomputer Computations Research Institute | | \\||// | C | | gasparian@gw.scri.fsu.edu | "So, where excactly DID my | ===>><<=== R | | gaspo@vsserv.scri.fsu.edu | socks go to in the dryer? | | //||\\ | I | | (904) 644-4277 / 222-5630 | Are they happier now?" -me | | || | | \----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
