I’ll see what I can do about that, but keep in mind it’d be an outsider’s perspective. I was a Commodore 8-bit guy when GEM was a contender, and GEM was dead when I upgraded to an Amiga. Well, not totally dead, since the Atari ST ran on GEM.

I had a copy so many years ago and it was light years ahead of anything available for Intel processors. The only problem was the Intel processors weren’t able to handle the load. Memory of course was the problem, but I do wish you would give a report on GEM what happended.
