The worst thing for people like you and I who saw and documented what
we thought was happening (I wrote in a local user's group newsletter)
is that we derive no pleasure from seeing the current state of affairs
come to pass.
I truly wish that a few of my user group friends had not bought into
ST.  Not because of some "mine is better than yours" mentality pitch
I gave them.  But because of the horrendous ST OS that I saw when I 
purchased my ST.  I *KNEW*, given the state of the OS that was released,
these people had no pride in their work. 
Only due to efforts like UNITERM has the ST become anything other than
a bathtub boat anchor.  Well that's not entirely true.  It does have some
great games.......

These comments are mine alone and not Eastman Kodak's. How's that for a
simple and complete disclaimer?
