	Here is a question I don't think I have ever heard hashed around
on here before.  Is there a way to intercept the 'bombs' that come onto
the screen with some sort of dialog like on the Mac:  "Sorry,
a system error has occureed [Restart|Resume]" or on the Amiga: "System
Error:  Guru Meditiation xxx:xxxxxxx [Continue]" so that one can better
diagnose problems with one's own (or someone else's) program?  It seems
to me that having a number of non-descript cherry bombs (or mushroom clouds,
which I am told appeared on earlier STs) is not a very good way of represent-
ing an error, but I guess that's just me.

	On a similar note, has anyone purchased and/or received the
"NeoDesk" program that was announced in this group last week?  It
sounds as if it promises a lot, (but at what return?)  I'd be interested
in whether or not this would be a 'wise' purchase.
