I used to work with large databases in AppleWorks, and I used PublishIt! to
design the newsletter for the local Apple users' group.  An accelerator made
these programs considerably more useful and enabled me to get stuff done in
less time.  Also in AppleWorks, it made text rendering in SuperFonts faster,
so that the limiting factor for print speed at even the highest quality
became the printer.
