I bought the last copy that my local Egghead store had last night. I
like it. I like it alot. If you run MS Windows, buy it. If you write
Windows applications, buy it and make you dialog boxes just like theirs.
Imagine, color and graphics inside a dialog box. Great! With 8 years
and over 200 programs, this is the second non-game program that
impressed me. I only had 20 minutes to spend with the program. In that
time I installed it and looked into only 4 of the MicroApps. The font
display not only will display the screen fonts, but will also show you
the printer fonts. With a hard disk on my PostScript printer, I think
that this is great. The memory usage program displays current memory
usage with either a pie or bar graph. It also updates itself whenever
you load a program. When it is reduced to an icon, the icon shows the
amount of free memory. The alarm clock allows you to set up to 3 alarm
times. I set two of them to remind my wife to give our daughter her
medicine. Finally, I setup the AutoSaver program. Now when we are
working in Aldus PageMaker, it will automatically save changes every ten
minutes.

PostScript: The only other non-game program that impressed my was Adobe
Streamline for the PC. However, that is another story.
