- I've been using a demo copy of Liken (2 week floating license) and I'm
- now a beta tester (I'm in the process of purchasing a non-demo copy).
- The program blows me away. It's really good.
-
- The first time the Mac Finder appeared in a window on my SPARC I
- thought Alan Funt was going to come out from behind a curtain and say,
- "Smile! You're on candid camera!" or that I was going to wake up and
- it would have been just a dream.
-
- Like works and works really well. It uses some of the CAP daemons to
- provide AppleTalk, it runs MicroSloth Excel, MS-Word, QuickMail, Missle
- Command and most everything that I've tried.
-
- If you are a Unix weenie living in a Mac world and don't have the desk
- space (or money) for a Mac, give Liken a try.
