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.
