	I had rather thought there were many outliners for Windows (though 
more complex/powerful/overdone than Shadow Desktop.) I have often wondered 
about the viability of carryong on Shadow Desktop as a distinct product -- 
I actually designed it carefully so that it could live without the Palm 
side, and work with other handhelds and so on. But when I revirewed the 
market, I have thought it would be a very hard battle to be noticed..
