I hope that they produce a game or something..possibly shareware or just totally freeware, maybe? Demos are cool for awhile, but I'd like to actually play something by them...They came close with Space Harrier, but no cigar. Is it too difficult for them to make an entire piece of software? (besides a disk copier, that is) Anyway, I'm hoping to see DreamGraphix soon...maybe that'll put the IIGS up to par on the 'G' side of the name (the 'S' has proven itself time and time again). Hey Andy, how's everything going with the 6.0 system disk? ;-) Only recently have I actually started using the Finder (1.3) as an actual utility and not just a mere program launcher. While I'll still swear by Copy II Plus 8.3 (I don't like the mouse interface on 9.0, too sloppy), I have found a new friend in the Finder...I rarely used the desktop before because it was so slow (opening and closing windows was EXTREMELY slow before System 5.0.X came out as well as other items too numerous to be mentioned here), anyway I PERSONALLY feel that the speed and screen updating are really pretty tollerable with 5.0.X ...if the new system disk (WHEN IS IT COMING OUT ANYWAY???!?!?) is a whole hell of a lot better, like I've been hearing so much lately, then I would really like to THANK YOU AND EVERYONE WHO IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE NEW SYSTEM SOFTWARE!!!
