Here is an article at the NY Times about Eazel. It was founded last fall by 4 of the original core Mac OS developers of the early 1980's. One of these guys even went on head Steve Job's NeXT OS development. Excerpt: "This summer, Eazel plans to begin offering a free user interface -- an icon-based software control system that can be downloaded from the Internet..." Should we (Loci) be concerned? It's based on Gnome too. http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/00/02/biztech/articles/21eaze.html (free account required) Cheers. Jeff
