- Greetings Joel. :-)

- If they are already available PD/Shareware then there is no need to make
- them part of the OS. Those people that like that particular feature can
- find and use it and those that don't are not forced to. A prime example
- of this is the MUI discussions that took place a few months ago, some
- people like it some don't. Why force those that don't to limit the
- functionality of their machine by making it part of the OS?
-
- The *BIG* thing that I'd like to see as part of the OS is a WorkBench
- ARexx port. This is something that can't easily be added by a third
- party and would add functionality to a wide variety of users.
