Making this kind of statement really does no one any good at all.  I wish
people would be more mature than this.  Without any valid reason or
explaination no one is able to judge if they agree or can refute why it
was said.  At this point, it is only a personal opinion.

Let me simply say, " I DISAGEE."

I have been using Spectrum with my Apple IIgs (a Beta version with a few
minor bugs) for several weeks, and I LIKE it.  I also have compared it
to Proterm 3.1 and ANSITerm 2.0 and I still like it.  Granted, each of
the others have their strong points, but neither uses the DeskTop
environment like Spectrum.  I've stopped using anything else.

So, okay.  I'm not a telcom. expert.  Nor do I claim to know everything
about Spectrum.  I haven't even seen the manual yet.  Nor have I exercised
all of it's functionallity.  I'm not even claiming it is the best thing
since sliced bread.  BUT, I can't sit by and let some one make the kind
of statement above without giving an valid reason why.  Besides, it hasn't
even been released yet so they can't have seen the final product.
