Hey, on page 108 of the August issue of Byte, there's a picture of
a screen dump from something called OS/90.  It looks like they've
finished Open Look.  Any chance Sun might license it?

If you're implying that OS/90's version of Open Look is more attractive
and finished than OpenWindows 1.0 or 1.0.1 than you should order 2.0
(or wait for your upgrade if you have already purchased an earlier
version).  It is a major improvement both in looks and performance.

We ordered OW last summer, and 1.0.1 arrived a couple of months ago.
I hadn't gotten around to installing it yet when I saw that 2.0 had
hit the streets.  Does this mean that, having purchased an earlier OW,
I should expect that the doc-u-crate faerie will automagically favor
me with the new release?
