I have a lot of software available on my boss' Mac at work, and across the
street, where the team that developed dBASE Mac lives.  But I've bought a
couple of programs for my Mac Plus at home that really *deserve* my
business.  I work in IBM-mode all day, and I can't think of a single 
analogue in the MS-DOS or Unix world to the example set by Think Technologies
or Silicon Beach Software.  In both cases, these companies offer products
that exceeded expectations massively--the speed and ease of Lightspeed C,
the sounds and the sense of involvement of Dark Castle.  But they have gone
on to revise the originals with an impressive sense of what it was about
them that people liked in the first place.  I'm eager for LSC v3.0 and I'm
an orb away from mastering Beginner mode in Beyond Dark Castle.

Sorry--no information in this posting, nothing you can take away and use
except that if I ever go into business I certainly plan to model it after
these two excellent companies.
