 True. And so do most of the computer-literate people I know.
All my friends use either OS/2 or Linux. I know very few people
who are both knowledgable enough to setup their own systems and
who still use windoz, except as I do, under OS/2 or Linux for a
few special programs. And then grudgingly.

  I do, actually. And you shouldn't take my words as being
hostile to yourself or TTG. I truly do wish XY to prosper, and if
a future version shows itself to be useful to me, I'd certainly
buy it. However -- as I said before, if XY won't run in native
mode on a PowerPC, or at least in an emulated window that is
capable of accepting input from pens and voice, then I can't see
a lot of future utility, for me, at least.
  I've been using WinPen for about a month, recently installed
Pen for OS/2 on my Concerto. WinPen is a dog in comparison. The
handwriting recognition in Pen4OS2 is so much more accurate, and
faster. But it's the gesture support I'm really after, and that
too is much better. The pen is a much better tool than the mouse,
and with gestures added it is a natural editing tool. Have you
experimented with this stuff at TTG?

All is impermanent -- and this too shall pass away.
