Well, I am glad that you brought it up :). Vitesse is a company that is committed to the future of the Apple IIgs. Their products includes: The Salvation line of Hard disk utilities: Bakkup, Exorciser, Wings, Renaissance, and Deliverance. Also do not forget the FIRST hand held scanner for the Apple IIs: Quickie (The only InWord compatible scanner. But correct me if I am wrong :) The story I heard is that WestCode send both Vitesse and ThunderWare letters requests the specs and hardware for their scanners, but only Vitesse bothered to reply) They also have DiskAccess NDA, think of it as a Finder-in-a-NDA. Harmony - Printer drivers for the GS that allows you to use laser printers like the HP IIP, etc. Coming soon: Contour - outline fonts for the Apple IIgs. Hope this answers your question.

After a certain length of time, I'm not positive on the details, the other scanner (Lightening Scan??) will be supported. I have the Quickie, and I am very pleased with it. In a side-by-side comparison with the other hand held scanner, despite the fact that the scanning unit is identical, I believe the Quickie has better output. I think Vitesse's support is something all Apple II users should be thankful for! The Quickie also works on the Apple IIe and comes with software for the IIgs and IIe! Just my two cents worth, and a few opinions on the side! Mike mkheintz@vela.acs.oakland.edu
