While I cannot, in my official capacity here, cast aspersions on Digital
Research, there are certainly those who echo Bill Wood's sentiments.  The
bottom line is, GEM was there when we needed it.  The alternative, Windows,
would have probably taken an extra year, a year we could not afford.

We've been working hard at going through the code and making it work as best
we can, especially in the case of problems (like the 40 folder limit) that
turn up as we go along.

All in all, a most interesting set of observations, Bill.

As a matter of fact, the system you describe is almost exactly what we're
working on.  In the works is a 68020-based system which has none of its own
I/O except for a pair of DMA ports.  It will plug into the back of a current
ST computer and act as a high-powered number cruncher.  The 68881 and
Motorola MMU will also be part of the hardware, with UNIX system V or some
close relation being the software part.  The ST acts as a "genius terminal".

Subject: An interesting crash

I've just found an interesting way to crash your ST, guaranteed.
Boot up with the control panel installed, and after you get the
desktop, open a disk window.  Then open the Control Panel and
re-select the disk window over it.  If you now try to select
anything on the control panel via the right-button deal the system
will come to a screeching halt.
    This sounds like a bug to me.
