Hmm, all it said in the article was that the Alarm Clock DA did not work
with GW III under Switch-It!  They never claimed GraphicWriter III itself
did not work.

Actually, I was fairly impressed with the magazine and articles (aside from
the 30 page Quality Computers ad, when they charge others $3000 a page).

However, I was a little surprised at the compatibility issue, where they
labeled The Manager as more compatible.  My only guess is that from a user's
standpoint, multiple windows on the desktop are nicer than having to 
go into the SwitchIt! menu system to move around.  Personally, I feel the
multi-window system from the desktop (like The Manager uses) is a good
idea.

But, I think more extensive testing would show more programs 'break' under
The Manager.
