The real point is nobody has to 'try' to sell
Prontos. They have sold themselves, without even
the details on the software being released until
recently. I don't buy your apple interface
similiaries either. Why waste time on a MAC
interface, when as some-one else mentioned,
you can get a PC emulator for your MAC
anyways. I also doubt a significant fraction
of prospective Pronto buyers are into Apple.
Nothing more than MAC fanaticism.

Robin:

While I do not fully agree with your generalizations, as a Mac person myself, I support your request for a Mac version.

Ah, they used guitar and drums to make a hit single... they were, very obviously, "heavily influenced" by the Beatles...

Come now Robin, credit where credit's due. If I were responsible for designing the UI for Pronto, I'd probably be mildly offended by your comments... Sometimes the hardest thing is to design something that's 'obvious' and 'intuitive' to everyone.

Robin,
1) The home button looks like a house (did the software writters for hypercard design the first houses?)
2) Most of the world's computer users use IBM's or IBM compatible computers. (that's why there is currently no mac software!)
3) The reason fornumber 2 is apple's marketing department's fault. They blew it in the mac's infancy by noy allowing other computure makers and software writters to "clone" the mac interface (OS); therefore, mac's dwindled while IBM's and windows rocked to their current throne over the world's computer market.

You shouldn't slam Philip's marketing group when they have a new hotseller; especially when your fighting for apple (whose sales and marketing division wreckerd the company)

The reason I don't have a MAC is due to there true lack of compatability, functionality, and flexability. Yes, the interface is a breeze to use, but onb the other hand there is barely any software (comparativly speaking), the issue of compatability with third-party hardware arrises often (as with Pronto), and to be down right honest the mac can't do in a lifetime half of what my 400 Mhz Pentium II can do in a heatbeat (not just because of speed, sometimes things just can't be customized or tweaked on a mac)!!!

PS (sorry for the broad generalizations)

Will Philips release a software version for my C64? hehe, just kidding...

I think a mac's able to emulate windows, ain't it?

PS most of the software for macs was designed for children and school apps.

The guy that wrote much of ProntoEdit actually owns several C64 machines, though I think it's mostly for nostalgic reasons :-)...
