- There is one. As I keep saying - take a look at the European scene which
- has left most American programs in the 80's. If you look at programs like:
-
- Kobold, Gemini, Ease, Connect, Papyrus, Everest, Interface, Interface,
- Interface!!!, Egale, Addresse, CD-Tools, TrueImage, EBackup, DA's Picture,
- GEMBench, Screenblaster 2, GSpool, Two In One and many more, a standard
- interface will emerge quite quickly. The fact that you choose to ignore it
- doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you do ignore it, you will simply be
- isolating yourself and will most definitely not be taken seriously by
- developers, journalists or users on this side of the pond. If you close
- your eyes people can still see you!
