So far, I like what I see. The step from 6 to 7 may, on first sight, seem perhaps less impressive than the step from 5 to 6 with the introduction of extremely useful Manipulate and Dynamic, but there are plenty of very nice surprices to be found here. Some bugs that troubled me in 6 seemed to have been solved as well. Stylesheets, for instance, seem to have been improved considerably. In 6 there was no check to the menu item indicating the currently selected style, in 7 there is. In the JournalArticle style much more formatting options are available and in the automatic numbering menu item it is now finally possible to refer to a numbered equation. There so much to be excited about that it is very hard to point at a single feature that sticks out. On the negative side, I had one occasion of the mouse I-beam getting stuck in Mathematica and all other progams after a simple text selection in a Mathematica notebook. I had to restart my PC. Not sure whether this was a Mathematica problem or something related to my laptop. Anyway, that's about the only issue in 4 days with 7. O yes, I still can't get through our corporate firewall to get the computable data, but that's more a problem of our firewall than of Mathematica. Cheers -- Sjoerd
