HM> Yes, please.

Hello Hamish,

I am very pleased to do this.

. No, wait 'til you've read the article....

HM> Their Java does not work properly.

1.01? 1.02? 1.1? IBM have been releasing betas of 1.02 at weekly
intervals, with developers reporting significant improvements in both
speed and functionality with each upgrade. Java 1.1 will really lift the
game significantly.

HM> Voice recognition is a gimmick that is very

Not in my experience. The other day I went to a computer market with
other user group volunteers, and the one thing that people wanted to see
was the voice system. Sure, they looked at Java, they looked at the
multi-tasking, but they _wanted_ to know about the voice.

HM> What other improvements does Warp 4 have, besides a useless hardware
HM> manager?

Read on...
