- I am very very interested in this software! Anybody who know more about
- "The Manager" please explain!
-
- I am now also testing the Switch It! demo, and find it to be very reliable.
- Most applications run fine, and it works better than the MultiLaunch.

- How? Does it multitask?

-
- So the windows from 320 mode and 640 mode applications are displayed together?
- Just like... leapFrog? Oops.

- Looks more and more like leapFrog... oops.

-
- Text applications? Does it mean ProDOS 8? If it is, then it is better than
- Switch It! in that area.
-
- Seems that now we have many switchers - we have:
-
- - leapFrog: the original, a lot of bugs.
- - multiMaster: works with more applications, but does not work with Finder.
- - multiLaunch: this is good! But unfortunately Alan didn't completed it.
- - the Manager: ...?
- - Switch It!: Get it, it is good.
