   Oh, I try never to assume either way, and then I get pleasantly   
   surprised that way when it does happen. I think BeOS has improved over   
   the years in many ways. I also think the more things get finished and   
   brought up to a good level, than the more people will switch from one   
   area, and then start working in other areas that really need some   
   improvement with in  BeOS.....Dwight
