- Geez! What kind of a machine do you have?!? And what version of MUI? Surely
- not 3.3! (Uh oh! Now I did it again - start a MUI war)

-
- MUI is an excellent class library, especially if you're used to SmallTalk.
- It's not really VMC, but it works great.
-
- I was able to convert a X-based (very very small tiny) window interface, which
- under UNIX/X was a 250kb binary, to a MUI public class of 11kb size!

-
- WordWorth sucks bigtime! It's non-MUI interface is slower than my MUI (which
- uses things like 3 different IFF-textures etc)

-
- "I'm using AOL because there's no AOL client for the Amiga"??? First time I
- saw somebody use something 'cause it _lacks_ features...
