If the December 6th MacWEEK is correct (specifically, Mac the Knife),
then there will be no more Desk Accessories, starting with System 8.0
(Yeah, but will they do multi-tasking, and virtual memory by then? :-).

Sure, I can see the point; multitasking removes the need for them.  But,
what are they going to do with Control Panel, and the many many CDEV
files lying around?  (And while (some of us) are talking about improvements
does anyone else feel that the current Control Panel scheme of "throw the
file in the System Folder and it works" is a little kludgy?  I have so many
files in my system folder that I can't see them all on an SE's screen.

INIT's are equally a pain. (Though I see there's a new CDEV to handle INITs?)

I guess we won't need DiskTop by then, because we really will have the 
REAL Finder to jump to. :-)

[ This may be rambling, but has anyone else seen DEC's XUI (X-Windows User
Interface)?  Why aren't Apple's lawyers having a conniption over that one? ]
