	I have nothing to do with Software Ventures, so MicroPhone is
	not numbered among my many biases.

	The scripting language has all the power of a programming language,
	or you can just point and click.  For example, I have an on-screen
	button that invokes Kermit on Unix, gives me a file selection
	dialogue to select a file for upload, if it is not a legal Unix
	file name, gives me a dialogue box to rename the file, issues the
	command to Unix-Kermit, sends the file, and quits.

	It's MUCH faster than 1.0.  Fast enough that I no longer envy
	the MS-DOSers their antique character displays.

They implemented a 'copy table' command, so you can copy host data into
a DA spreadsheet (or Excel for those with MultiFinder and GB of memory),
do some calculations, and copy it back.

About the only drawback to Microphone 2.0 is its' steep price.  (Though
I got a cheap upgrade from 1.0 :-):-)  For business use it's worth
every penny of list price.  I wouldn't mess with anything else to save
a few bucks.  For personal use at full price...  I don't know... It
sure is nice... So are lots of other things you could spend the money on.
