A few random comments first...  I've had Win3 for 16 hours now, and it's
all that I was hoping it would be.  The apps icons make it possible to
really use Win3 as an environment (Win2 was unacceptable), and the after-
installeation customization is impressive.  I didn't do any benchmarks,
but WinWord *appears* quicker with Win3 (VGA) than with Win2.11 (SVGA).
Maybe that's because it now has 8 Mb to play with, instead of 640K.  Need
some more apps though (like WingZ or a new version of Excel, though!).

The Asymetrix DayBook that was included looks pretty slick as well (although
I don't know yet whether I'll end up using it); is this similar to the
Mac's HyperCard?

I called their tech support yesterday, and they promised drivers for VGA+
for mid-June (I assume these would work with the Pro as well).  They'll be
on the BBS...

Mims-iris has an archive of LaserJet fonts (not bitstream).  These are of
varying quality, but at least they are free.  :)  FTP to mims-iris.waterloo.edu
and look in /fonts (please try not to do it 9am - 5pm EST).

Oh yes --- does the current version of Actor support Win3 or not?  There
is supposed to be an Actor 3.0 coming out --- what's the deal?
