   Right on! Has anybody heard anything about the new
Starwriter? I'm sure a bug-free XYDOS could remain fairly useful
in a vdm window for a while yet, and neither Describe or
ClearLook turn me on a whole lot. But I wonder how much of that
is just inertia -- if you took the time to really learn one or
the other, they might serve just as well as XY. Both Describe and
CL have come out with a new version recently that I haven't
experienced yet. Since I use my Concerto almost exclusively for
writing/notetaking, it's very aggravating to not be able to
utilize the pen for more than a mouse in XY.
Maybe I should just install one or the other of the OS/2 wps on
the Concerto and force myself to use it for awhile.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the
answer is NO.
