Hi,

I've got a couple of questions about the upcoming 2.0.  First off, how
much more functionality will there be in 2.0 than there is now in 1.99q?
 While Executor is an amazing piece of software, and while I'm extremely
impressed and excited by it, I must say that I'm a bit disappointed by
the small number of apps it can currently successfully run.  I'd be very
interested in seeing the major productivity apps work, period: Adobe
Illustrator, Photoshop, QuarkXPress, etc.  Those are the apps that
really set the Mac apart in my mind, and are what I really miss having a
Mac at home for.  I've heard rumours that we'll be able to get a copy of
System 7.5 and install it on top of Executor, for even more
functionality.  Is this true?

Now, questions about pricing and such.  If, as a student, I purchase a
copy of Executor now, what does that entitle me to in the future?  The
FAQ was slightly unclear about all of this.  Do I get a copy of 2.0 when
it comes out?  Do I get updates to 2.0?  And if I wait for 2.0 to come
out, will there be a student price?

Thanks greatly, and keep up the great work!  Executor is amazing!
