The flip side is that my 3-1/2-year-old son can start up SpeechToy *BY* *HIMSELF*, thanks to the Workbench! (He knows which disk is Kickstart, which is Workbench, and which is the Games disk with SpeechToy on it, so he can go from power off to "This is Amiga speaking." without help.) All you wonderful people at Commodore, please listen to these guys, but not *too* closely! If you can improve performance, fine -- but whatever you do, don't sacrifice ease of use!!!
