  I must agree: the Mac CAD/CAM stuff was *underwhelming*.  On the
other hand I just read a preprint of a CAD/CAM mag discussing a
recent show where several real Mac CAD programs suddenly appeared out of
the woodwork.  The editor's opinion was that the Mac developers had
suspended development until they could get Mac IIs with large or
multiple screens and colors for identifying their various drawing
planes before letting anything real out into the marketplace.
