I saw the brochure for Desview X. Looks damn impressive. As far as I am
concerned, QuarterDeck has a good reputation for producing fine products.
But until it is available for sale, its vapourware! I was told that it
would not be available until 2nd quarter of '91, if not later.

Nonetheless, if it really lives up to the claims and specs in the
brouchure, sign me up for a copy!! X is not great (in fact, it sucks
in many regards, e.g. performance), but it will open up a whole new
world for 386 PCs.
